Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 A small piece of cinnamon; a small pinch of Sichuan peppercorns; two star anise; three bay leaves.

   

2. 2 Cut green onions into three 5-6cm sections and four slices of ginger.

   

3. 3 Wash the pig's trotters and soak them in water for 2-3 hours. After skimming off the water, put the pig's trotters into the pot, pour in water (it is better to cover the pig's trotters), bring to a boil over high heat and continue to cook for five minutes, skim off the foam, turn off the heat, and take out the pig's trotters.

   

4. 4 Cut the pig's trotters in half (this will allow for better flavor) and put them into the pot. Sprinkle the green onions, ginger slices, cinnamon bark, peppercorns, star anise and bay leaves on the pig's trotters. Pour in twice as much water as the pig's trotters and bring to a boil over high heat.

   

5. 5 After that, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, thirteen spices and sugar.

   

6. 6 After the water boils, turn to medium-low heat, cover and simmer.

   

7. 7 Simmer for one hour, turn off the heat and serve. (During the cooking process, turn the pig's trotters every ten minutes to avoid burning the pot.)
