3. Notes when making fake dog meat stew

To make the braised pig's feet dish more delicious, you should choose quality ingredients.

You should buy the front leg because the meat will be thinner, softer, sweeter and have more tendons than the back leg. Good ham is usually firm, elastic, the meat fibers are even, and the hoof is intact and not loose.

You should buy pig feet that are bright pink and have no unusual odor. Do not buy pig feet that are waterlogged inside, have a membrane on the outside, have yellow liquid when cut, and have white bumps on the meat, because these pigs may have tapeworm disease.

You should buy young galangal to marinate with fake dog meat, it will be more delicious. You should not buy pre-ground galangal in the market because the quality is not guaranteed.

The finished product of the Central Vietnamese style braised pig's feet dish is soft but not mushy, with a light sweetness from molasses, the aroma of shrimp paste and rice vinegar, and a beautiful color.
