Slice , dip with mustard and side with Asian sour veggies😎

Cooking pork hock couldn’t be easier in a pressure cooker , and completed with deep fry or broil steps after , then a wonderful crispy – skinned pork hock ended as a comfort dish on holidays or gatherings with friends. For the side dish I stir-fried Asian preserved sour vegetable with sliced onion , a perfect match with fantastic flavor.So as usual this is a simple homemade food with restaurant feel. I believe that in addition to music, food is also international . Besides the German Pork Hock Schweinshaxe recipe , this fusion Crispy pork Hock served with Asian preserved sour vegetable is a tasty option too . Here we go….
