A large piece of pork is seasoned and slowly cooked in a wrapped or enclosed preparation until very soft. Aromatics and accompanying ingredients vary, but the meat remains the centerpiece. Tender lean meat and yielding fat absorb a rich savory sauce, giving a much softer texture than roast pork.
Yongding marinated duck feet 永定泡鸭爪 →
The feet are cooked first and then allowed to take up the marinade. This produces a chilled or room-temperature snack rather than a hot braised main course. Expect springy skin and tendons with a sharp, savoury seasoning. The bones remain part of the snack.
