Let’s relive throwbacks this coming Chinese New Year with our Teochew Pork Trotter Jelly recipe.
Though not commonly known in Singapore, this cold, Teochew dish is actually a classic within Singapore’s hawker culture.
Made from umami-packed pork broth, tender meat and collagen-rich skin that solidifies into jelly when left refrigerated – it’s an interesting appetiser to look forward to this New Year.
Best paired with a tangy, chilli sauce to spice up your taste buds.
