Jokbal
Jokbal is a delicious Korean dish made with braised pig's trotters. The trotters are cooked in a savory sauce with various spices and seasonings, resulting in a rich and satisfying taste. Jokbal is often enjoyed with rice, kimchi, and other side dishes.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds pig's trotters
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup rice wine
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 onion quartered
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 4 cups water
Optional toppings:
- green onions chopped
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Start by cleaning the pig's trotters thoroughly. Remove any excess hair and wash them under running water. If needed, you can also soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove any impurities.
- In a large pot, combine the soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar, onion, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, black pepper, and water. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the pig's trotters to the pot and make sure they are fully submerged in the liquid. If needed, add additional water to cover them completely.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the trotters simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- After the cooking time, check the trotters for tenderness. They should be easily pierced with a fork. If they are not yet tender, continue simmering for another 30 minutes or until desired tenderness is reached.
- Once the trotters are tender, remove them from the pot and let them cool slightly.
- If desired, you can brush the trotters with some of the sauce and grill them for a few minutes on each side to add a caramelized flavor.
- Slice the Jokbal into bite-sized pieces and serve it with the remaining sauce. You can also garnish it with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for extra flavor and presentation.
- Serve with steamed rice, kimchi, and other side dishes of your choice.
