KHONG ASSAM [ROASTED TROTTER IN SOUR SOUP]

This is an easy soup to cook with just one main ingredient that is roasted trotter. The soup is sourish and aromatic. An appetizing soup with the tasty roasted pork skin and meat. Good to serve with rice.

It is quite similar in taste to Chai Boey without the salted and unsalted mustard leaves.
