Ingredients
4Pork Hocks
Chinese Master Saucea full pot
1small Onionsliced into thin shreds
1large stalk of Celerycut into matchstick slices.
Instructions
Blanch the Pork Hocks in salted boiling water for approximately two minutes, then rinse well under cold running water to remove detritus.
Simmer the Hocks in a pot of Master Sauce for two hours and remove.
When cooled, cut the meat and skin into bite-sized chunks, reserving the bone and any scraps for the Master Sauce, or other stocks.
Make a bed of onion and celery in a Casserole or Clay-Pot and place the Pork on top, scattering a little extra onion over it all.
Add enough of the Master Sauce to the Pot to almost cover the Pork, then bake in a 325-degree Fahrenheit for two hours.
