Step 1
Rinse the pork tails, remove the hair, and cut them into smaller chunks.
Step 2
Add cold water and pig’s tail to a large saucepan or pot. (Make sure the pig tails are submerged.)
Step 3
Bring to boil and drain the water. It’ll take about 10 minutes. Rinse the pork tails to remove the foam and small particles.
Step 4
In a large pan over medium-heat, add oil, garlic, ginger and green onion. Stir fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Add cooked pig tail chunks, star anises, sugar, soy sauce, cooking wine to the pan.
Step 6
Add water to make sure the liquid covers the pork tail completely.
Step 7
Bring to boil, and then lower the heat.
Step 8
Cover the lid and simmer for about 1 hour until the pork tail has become completely tender.
Step 9
Remove the lid. Turn the heat to high, cook until the sauce has thickened. If you have a lot of liquid in the pan, it may take a while. You can add cornstarch slurry (mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and water). This will thicken the sauce much faster and make it sticky.
Step 10
Season with more salt if needed and serve immediately.
