Remove the pig’s feet, rinse them, and return them to a clean pot with fresh water, salt, and the garlic cloves.
Cook until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
Squeeze the lemons and strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and onion. Add the lemon juice and chili peppers, cut into quarters.
Add the cooked pig’s feet to the mixture and stir to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 4 hours to absorb the flavors.
Serve the Saus with pig’s feet on their own or accompanied by salad or white rice.
Trim excess fat from the pig’s feet during cleaning to avoid greasiness.
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the pig feet in some of the spices overnight, if possible, before cooking.
Can I use a different cut of pork instead of pig feet?
Yes, you can substitute pig feet with pork shoulder or another meaty cut if pig feet are not available.
Do I need to peel the cucumbers before slicing them?
Peeling is optional. If the cucumbers have a thick or bitter skin, you may peel them. Otherwise, leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
How should I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
What can I serve with Pig Feet Sauce?
This dish pairs well with white rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
Is there a way to enhance the flavor further?
Adding vinegar during the last 30 minutes of cooking can enhance the flavor with extra tanginess.
