Recipe makes for 4 Servings

2 tbsp sugar

4 cups pork stock or water

2 tbsp fish sauce

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 lb pig's feet, cleaned

4 spring onions, trimmed, halved and bruised

2 lemon grass stalks, trimmed, halved and bruised

2 oz fresh root ginger, peeled and sliced

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2 dried red chilies

4 star anise

4 eggs, hard-boiled and shelled


Directions:

In a heavy pan, melt the sugar with 1 tbsp water. When it turns golden, remove from the heat and stir in the stock, fish sauce and the soy sauce. Put the pan back over the heat and stir until the caramel dissolves.

Add the pig's feet, spring onions, lemon grass, ginger, garlic, chilies and star anise. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover the pan. Simmer for 3-4 hours, until the meat is very tender.

Skim any fat off the top and drop in the boiled eggs. Simmer uncovered for a further 10 minutes, turning eggs over from time to time, so that they turn golden. Serve hot with bread or rice.
