Jokbal (Korean Style Pigs' Feet)
돼지 족발
Jokbal is a traditional Korean dish made of pigs' feet or hocks. It is considered to be a healthy dish and sometimes the broth is made with hanyak (한약), or Korean traditional herbs and medicine. This is not a dish that everyone will like -- it has a unique chewy texture and taste. Usually, jokbal is served as an appetizer or side dish. It is also served as an anju, which is a Korean dish for drinking with, because it is believed to help with the effects of alcohol.
