For a richer flavor, consider adding a smoked ham hock to the pot during braising. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness. The braising liquid can be reduced after the pig's feet are cooked to create a more concentrated sauce. These pig's feet freeze exceptionally well. Allow them to cool completely, then transfer them to freezer-safe containers or bags with some of the braising liquid. A splash of hot sauce or additional vinegar brightens up the flavors when serving.
