Lu Zhu Jiao (滷豬腳/卤猪脚) Braised Pork Feet

Lu Zhu Jiao (滷豬腳/卤猪脚) Braised Pork Feet

 

Lu zhu jiao (滷豬腳/卤猪脚) (pinyin with tones: lǔ zhū jiǎo), braised pork feet, is an entrée that fits with many staple foods. It goes well with white rice, noodles, vermicelli, and cellophane noodles (or called glass noodles). You can find it in bian dang dian (便當店, bento shops), xiao chi dian (小吃店, diners), noodle shops, and restaurants that specifically sell lu zhu jiao. Some other countries may distinguish pork feet into pork hock (豬肘, zhu zhou) and pork trotter (豬蹄, zhu ti), but in Taiwan we eat both so we all call them "zhu jiao (豬腳)."

 

Zhu Jiao (豬腳) Cuisine And Taiwanese Culture

Zhu jiao mian xian (豬腳麵線), pork feet with vermicelli, is a traditional dish that Taiwanese people usually have after being discharged from hospital or released from prison. It is said that eating zhu jiao mian xian can get rid of bad luck. Some people also have zhu jiao mian xian on their birthday, but nowadays, people eat zhu jiao mian xian whenever they want. Another dish is hua sheng zhu jiao tang (花生豬腳湯), pork feet and peanuts soup. It is clear-stewed instead of braised. When a mother is under her postnatal care of her family (坐月子), she will have hua sheng zhu jiao tang to increase her breast milk production.

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
