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.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to create a luxurious meat dish atmosphere like a family restaurant at a low cost.
  • Those who want to experience the surprising tender transformation of pork hind leg, which they may have only thought of as tough and chewy.
  • Those who want to easily make a wonderful sweet and savory Western-style sauce using only basic pantry staples (soy sauce, ketchup, sugar).
  • Those who want to learn the technique of maximizing flavor through heat control and pan manipulation amidst simple ingredient combinations.
