Cooking tips
- Pork hind leg has very little fat compared to pork belly or neck. The key to a tender texture is to directly apply and absorb oil onto the surface of the meat before cooking.
- Don't leave the meat still while cooking; constantly move the frying pan. This allows the oil to circulate smoothly underneath the meat, ensuring it cooks evenly and crisply without burning.
- Use a thick-bottomed pan rather than a thin one. This prevents the pan's temperature from dropping drastically when the meat is added, allowing the juices to be perfectly sealed in.
- Using Worcestershire sauce instead of soy sauce will create a more exotic and deeply tangy original restaurant-style steak sauce.
