Step 1
Rinse the 2 lb pork trotters and pat dry. Heat a large pot over medium-high, add the trotters and sear until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Add the 1 sliced onion and 2 chopped tomatoes to the pot. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the 3 tbsp dark soy sauce, 2 whole red chili peppers, and 2 bay leaves. Pour in the 4 cups water, scraping up any browned bits.
Step 4
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the meat is tender and falling off the bone, about 1.5 hours.
Step 5
Uncover and simmer for another 15 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Stir in the 0.5 cup chopped cilantro just before serving. Serve hot with rice or crusty bread.
