When else can you say you want some pigs tail or pork tail? This is a sweet and savory Chinese Pig Tail Recipe that is a cheap dinner for those times when you want Chinese food but can’t really afford it.
Salt & pepper the pork. Heat a large stock pot and add oil. Bring oil up to a medium high temperature and brown the pork in batches. Remove between each batch to be sure the pork actually browns. Keep the pork set aside for now.
Add the diced onion and diced red peppers and cook until they are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add back in the pork with the sherry. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
To serve, you can thicken it with cornstarch/water mixture (be sure to let it boil for at least 1 minute), or leave it as is.
“Pork tail?” you ask… Yes! It is something found in the Chinese markets and is usually very cheap to purchase. Most of the time I use it for soup, but this time I got a little creative… and it worked!
For those of you not familiar with pigs tail, it’s like a riblet. There is quite a bit of meat on the pigs tail which makes it great for a dish like this or for soup.
Enjoy!
