【Braised pig's feet】

Overview

Braised pork trotters are a dish found in many places. Of course, the tastes in each place are similar. In some family banquets or banquets in the countryside of Sichuan, braised vegetables will be served. The seasonings used in braised vegetables a long time ago were very simple. There were no soy sauce, cooking wine and other dishes. For better coloring, brown sugar was used instead, rice wine was used to remove the fishy smell, and three pieces of garlic were used to achieve the aroma of stewed and braised vegetables.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 When buying pig's trotters, ask the store owner to burn the pig's trotters over fire. 1⃣️The pig hair can be removed, 2⃣️The burned skin of the pig's trotters will be more fragrant after being marinated. #It’s better to choose native pig’s feet#

   

2. 2 Wash the chopped pig's feet and remove the blood. How to put oil in the pot. When the oil is 70% hot, turn down the heat and add rock sugar. "I used cube sugar." If you need a darker color, you can use brown sugar. After the sugar is foamy, add star anise and ginger, and then pour the reserved boiling water. If you add cold water, the sugar will solidify and have a mushy taste. Add boiling water to prevent the sugar from solidifying and it will boil faster. Then put the dehydrated pig's feet into the stew pot, then pour the boiled brine into the stew pot with the pig's feet, put the dried chili peppers and green onion knots into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat and simmer over low heat.

   

3. 3 The softness and hardness can be determined according to personal taste. My family prefers it to be cooked. Grandpa said: the meat will naturally smell better when it is cooked. 😊
