【Braised Pork hock and feet in anka and fermented bean curd sauce】
by MaomaoMom
At a farm, I bought pork hock with feet, perfect, have not have pig feet for a long time. I still have 5 year old Hongzao or Anka sauce (fermented sweet rice with red yeast rice) left. The colour is deep red and it smells so good. I made this dish using some of the hongzao and fermented bean curd. It turned out to be wonderful, what a delicious dish. MaomaoDad and MaomaoGreatDad enjoyed this dish a lot!
