Ttukdak Hyung's Schweine Haxe (German-Style Pork Knuckle)

Cooking tips 💡

• When scoring the diamond pattern on the pork skin, use a sharp knife but cut only into the outer skin layer; cutting too deep will spoil the shape and cause excessive juice loss.
• Caraway seeds provide the authentic, exotic aroma characteristic of German meat dishes, but they are very sharp and strong, so carefully add only a small amount and avoid spilling.
• The intermediate air-drying step in the air fryer is absolutely crucial: it tightens the skin structure and removes moisture, preventing violent oil splatter during the final deep-fry and achieving a bubble-like, crunchy texture.
