The tradition of eating pork knuckles has a long history. When fortunes were low and people wanted to turn their luck around, they could not do it without eating pork knuckles. Whenever people talk about pork knuckles, Pingtung’s Wanluan pork knuckles inevitably come to mind. Wanluan pork knuckles are famous throughout Taiwan, mainly because of their production process—unique recipes and seasonings that set them apart from pork knuckles made elsewhere. The pork knuckles are not greasy; the skin, meat, and tendons have a chewy texture with a slight crispness, making them incredibly refreshing. Combined with the fragrant, mellow dipping sauce, they leave a lasting impression, and once you try them, you’ll want to eat more.
