Tips:Pigs' feet should be cleaned thoroughly before braising, remove any remaining hair if present by roasting over the stove.

Try to add water in one go, don't rush it. The longer you braise, the more tender the pigs' feet will be. If you need to add water later, use hot water, and don't add too much salt at first as it may make the pigs' feet hard to break down.

Tip:

Clean the pig's feet thoroughly before cooking, ensuring there is no hair. If there are a few hairs, roast them on the stove to remove. Add water all at once; be patient, as longer cooking times make the dish more tender. If you need to add water mid-cooking, use boiling water. Do not add salt too early, as it can hinder the pig's feet from becoming soft and tender.
