Mama’s Cooking Tips:
Boiling the pork’s leg slowly and gently over low heat brings out the flavor of the meat, and keeps the meat very tender.
For the sauce: add cornstarch diluted in water if sauce is not thick yet)
* Alternatively, you can use Hoisin sauce if you dont have worcestershire sauce, i ran out of Hoisin, but it turned out more delicious than using Hoisin sauce.
