Remove the knuckles, drain and place them in the greased fat pan of the oven. Braise in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ circulating air: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 2 1/2 hours. Pour the knuckle of pork stock through a sieve, measure 1 litre. After approx. 45 minutes pour on some knuckle of pork stock. Gradually add the remaining measured stock until approx. 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

Cut cabbage into quarters, cut out the hard stalk. Clean and wash the cabbage and cut into bite-sized pieces. Drain the cabbage. Clean, wash and chop the peppers. Leek onions clean, wash and cut into pieces. Rinse and drain the sprouts. Mix 100 ml soy sauce, honey and sambal oelek. Coat the knuckles with it about 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Roast the knuckles brown, if necessary increase the oven temperature (electric cooker: 225 °C/ circulating air: 200 °C/ gas: see manufacturer). Check the knuckles regularly!

Measure out 100 ml of knuckle of pork stock. Roast sesame seeds in a pan or wok without fat until golden brown, remove. Add 2 tbsp. oil to the hot pan or wok, heat up.

Deglaze with 50 ml soy sauce and 100 ml knuckle of pork stock, bring to the boil, fold in the sprouts and sesame seeds. Bring 600 ml of stock to the boil. Mix starch with a little water, thicken simmering stock with it, season again if necessary. Arrange knuckles and wok vegetables, add sauce
