Today is my BIRTHDAY, and I will show you how to make Traditional Taiwanese Braised Pork Hock, which brings good luck year after year. Taiwanese Braised Pork Hock symbolizes “forwardness,” eating Pork Hock on your birthday or Lunar New Year brings prosperity, progress, and lots of good luck in the new year! It is also incredibly delicious! The Pork Hock is cooked until fork tender and packed with umami flavor. Taiwanese Braised Pork Hock served with long thin noodles to symbolize good health and long life.
