    1. Put the salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, peeled carrot, onion, and pork knuckle into a pot (you can soak the knuckle in cold water for 30 minutes first). Cover everything with cold water and put it on to cook. 2. Once the broth comes to a boil, skim off the foam and lower the heat. 3. Cook until done — when the meat starts to fall off the bone, it's ready; take it off the heat. 4. Remove the meat from the broth and cut it into small pieces. Add the garlic and ground pepper to taste, and mix. 5. Wrap the meat in cheesecloth and place it in a pot under a weight. 6. Refrigerate for 1 day. 7. Take it out, slice, and enjoy!
