Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pig feet
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 leaves Bay leaves
• 1 stick Cinnamon stick
• 2 stars Star anise
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Clean the pig feet thoroughly under running water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.

Step 3

Add the pig feet to the skillet and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer them to the slow cooker.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Step 5

Add the sautéed onion mixture to the slow cooker along with the pig feet.

Step 6

Pour the chicken broth, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar over the pig feet in the slow cooker.

Step 7

Add the bay leaves, cinnamon stick, and star anise to the slow cooker.

Step 8

Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the ingredients in the slow cooker.

Step 9

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours.

Step 10

After 8 hours, check the pig feet for tenderness; they should be very tender and the meat should easily separate from the bones.

Step 11

Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 12

Serve the pig feet hot, garnished with chopped green onions and cilantro.
