Tebichi
Japan · East Asia
- Short description
- Tebichi is a simmered pig's-feet dish prized for tender skin, tendon, and gelatinous texture.
- Ingredients
- Pig's feet slowly simmered with soy sauce, sugar, awamori, ginger, dashi, and kombu.
- Cultural note
- The valued texture is soft and gelatinous rather than crispy, and the dish can be served as a small braise or as a noodle topping.
- Common misconception
- The point is not only meat; skin, tendon, and collagen texture are central.
