Chinese Style Pig’s Feet

A dish you don’t see as often as we used to back in the day. Now, only a small handful of restaurants will serve this as their daily special. Every ethnicity has their own version of this recipe.
This was shared with me by my friend’s mom, who tells me this has been in their family for generations. Sweet, tangy and succulent.
