Instructions

Prepare the Pork Pig Tails: Begin by thoroughly cleaning the pork pig tails under cold running water. Pat them dry with paper towels and set them aside.
Sear the Pork: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork pig tails in batches and brown them on all sides until they develop a nice crust, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the pig tails and set them aside.
Saute the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Saute for a few minutes until they become fragrant and start to soften.
Create the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, black pepper, paprika, and add the bay leaf to the pot. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Cook the Pork: Return the pork pig tails to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and falls off the bone.
Finish and Serve: Once the pork pig tails are fully cooked, remove them from the pot and place them on a serving platter. Skim off any excess fat from the sauce if necessary. You can also thicken the sauce by simmering it uncovered for a few more minutes.
Garnish and Enjoy: To serve, spoon the sauce over the pork pig tails and garnish with chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness. Pair this dish with steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal that will satisfy all your cravings.
