pork belly

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Chicken thighs are leaner and less fatty than pork belly.

white wine

🥗Healthier: chicken broth

💰Cheaper: water

Chicken broth adds flavor without the alcohol.

Remove excess fat from the pork trotters and cut them into small pieces.

Prepare rice by adding 2 cups of rice and 2 cups of cold water to a pot, distributing the rice evenly and adding salt to taste.

Cook the rice over high heat until the water boils, then reduce the heat to low and cook for a total of 10 minutes for perfect fluffy rice.

Slice 1 onion and chop 2 large garlic cloves.

Sauté the onion in olive oil over low to medium-low heat until softened and translucent.

Once the onion is ready, add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Add the pork trotters and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally for even cooking.

Season with salt to taste and add a few drops of white wine vinegar (or wine if available).

After 10 minutes, add bay leaves and dried parsley (or fresh parsley) and ground black pepper.

Cover the wok for the last 5 minutes to speed up cooking and retain moisture.

Serve the pork trotters abundantly over rice, garnished with crispy onion and chopped onion.
