- Cut the hocks into chunks the size of a small fist. Grill or possibly barbeque or possibly braise them to seal the meat and crisp the outsides.
- Finely chop the garlic, and other ingredients (except the star anise and soy sauces) in a mortar and pestle or possibly food processor, so they are easily integrated into the gravy.
- Put the other ingredients in a large pot, add in the pork, then add in sufficient pork stock to cover the meat, and then add in sufficient dark soy to produce a rich coloration. Bring to a boil, and boil for 15 min, then reduce the heat to a light simmer, cover, and simmer for 15 min.
- Taste and add in sugar or possibly light soy to adjust the flavor. Continue to simmer till the meat is tender sufficient to fall apart when probed with a chop stick (about 45 min). Add in additional stock if the pot begins to dry out, but allow the sauce to reduce to a thickish gravy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Transfer to a large serving dish and serve with Thai jasmine rice (warn the unwary not to eat the star anise!).
- Note, the pot should be large sufficient which when the ingredients and stock are assembled at the start of boiling the pot is about half full to prevent it boiling over.
- Comments: This is a popular "snack", but it can form a course in Thai style dinner. It could be made from any fairly fatty cut of pork, but is normally made from the hocks and shanks of pork.
