Kao Koa Moo
What you'll need:
  • 1 pork leg or a couple pork necks
  • 2-3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 8 slices galangal
  • 4 shiitake mushrooms
  • 4-6 medium boiled eggs (boiled for about 8 minutes)
  • Two handfuls of Greens, roughly chopped
  • Master stock (Click here for the recipe!)
The How To part
  • Add the pork leg and foot into a large stock pot, cover with Master stock. See here for our Master stock recipe! Bring this to the boil and then cover and simmer for 3 5 hours until the meat is tender and cooked.
  • Be sure to occasionally skim off any scum that has floated to the top.
  • About half an hour before the pork is done, drop a couple of hard-boiled eggs and some green into the pot and let it simmer until the meat is cooked
  • Take out the pork, the greens and the eggs then strain.
  • Reduce this stock down and add some soy sauce or oyster sauce to deepen the flavours.
  • Reunite the pork, green and eggs with the stock and serve this alongside a bowl of rice or noodles, some Green Sauce, some Red sauce and various steamed vegetables.
