How to make Kao Ka moo - Braised pork leg

In a big pot or rice cooker add about 3 liters of water, 1 stalk lemongrass, and 2 cloves of garlic.

Add in about 1.5 kilos of pork leg, whole or cut into pieces.

Simmer the pork for 1 hour.

Take out the pork from the water and let cool down slightly on a tray.

Add 2 sticks of cinnamon, 5 star anise, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp coriander, and 1 tsp cumin to the pork stock.

Also, add 1 spoon black soya sauce and 1 spoon oyster sauce.

Bring back to a simmer.

Prick holes in the skin of the pork with a fork. prick them all the way around.

Fry the pork in medium hot oil (about 150C) for 5 minutes.

This is to firm up the skin, and also to render some of the fat.

It's not to make crispy skin :)

Transfer the pork back into the braising liquid and simmer for another 2-3 hours.

Or until the pork is fall-apart tender.

Season your pork leg sauce with 1 tsp palm sugar, 1 tsp chicken seasoning, and 1 tsp MSG.

While that is simmering we'll make the sauce.

Add 5 Thai chilies, 7 cloves of garlic, 1 spoon palm sugar, 1 Tbsp garlic water, and the juice of 3 limes to a mixer.

Mix until smooth. And transfer to a bowl.

Make some room in your pot to cook your vegetables.

Add in some Chinese kale and cook for about 1 minute.

And do the same with some pickled chinese mustard greens.

Serve the pork with Steamed Jasmine Rice and the garlic and chili sauce.
