Pata Tim (Braised Pork Leg)

Ingredients

    Pork

    • 1 pork leg
    • 1/4 cup soy sauce
    • 3/4 cup pineapple juice
    • 3/4 cup oyster sauce
    • 1 head garlic roughly crushed
    • 1 tbsp rice wine
    • 1 tbsp whole peppercorns
    • 1 onion sliced
    • 5 bay leaves

    Sauce

    • 1 cup of broth (from the pork leg)
    • 5 tbsp corn flour
    • salt to taste

    Vegetable

    • 1 Chinese lettuce - steamed

    Directions

    1. Fill a deep pot with water enough to cover the pork leg.
    2. Add all ingredients into the pot and simmer for about 1.5 hours or until pork leg is tender. Add hot water if needed.
    3. When tender, remove from broth. Cut meat and separate the bone. Set aside. Save 1 cup of the broth.
    4. Prepare the sauce. In a pan combine broth, cornstarch and salt to taste. Heat until thickened.
    5. On a serving platter, line with the steamed Chinese lettuce leaves. Place the sliced pork leg on top and drizzle the sauce over.
    6. Dizzle some Garlic Chilli Oil for a bit of a kick.
