Secret braised pig trotters for beauty in autumn and winter

Overview

Hydrate? Anti-wrinkle? This is not just an effect of cosmetics. Are pigs angels sent from heaven? Although pigs do not have the perfect appearance of angels, they have made great contributions to the human table! Pigs selflessly dedicate themselves to their precious bodies. The collagen in pig trotters is the main supporting protein in our body. Collagen is found in skin, bones, joint cartilage, internal organs, blood vessels and other organs. Collagen plays an extremely important role in our bodies and is the main component in maintaining skin and muscle elasticity. Pig's trotters are rich in collagen, have lower fat content than fat meat, and have relatively low cholesterol content. Pig's trotters are an important anti-aging ingredient for the human body.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 This is my secret pork trotters marinade. Prepare according to certain formula proportions.

   

2. 2 Scrape and clean the pig's trotters. The hair on the pig's trotters is not easy to remove. Put water in a pot and heat it to 80°C. Place the pig's trotters in the pot and blanch them for one minute. Take them out and wipe them, and the hair will fall off.

   

3. 3 Chop one side of the pig's trotter into eight pieces and set aside. When buying pig's trotters, look to see if there are tendons; tendons are rich in collagen protein and biological calcium. Compared with fat pig's trotters, tendons have very low fat content and low cholesterol content, which can enhance the metabolism of human cells.

   

4. 4 Boil water in a pot, simmer for about 5 minutes, take out and rinse with cold water, and carefully scrub away the dirt on the pig's trotters with your hands.

   

5. 5 Put the cleaned pig's trotters into a container and set aside.

   

6. 6 Pour all the pig's trotters into the stew pot, and 2000 grams of pig's trotters will just fill the stew pot.

8. 8 The pig's trotters and marinated ingredients are all ready. The secret braised pork trotters need to be simmered over low heat.

   

9. 9 Put a piece of peeled ginger into the pig's trotters. Ginger is a must. As the saying goes: "Three slices of ginger a day, no need for a doctor to prescribe." People compare October ginger to ginseng. Moreover, adding ginger to the pig's trotters can avoid the fishy smell of the pork and penetrate into the pig's trotters.

   

10. 10 Put cooking wine into the pig's trotters. This is a must. Cooking wine for braised meat and braised food plays an important role. And both are indispensable. Without the hero of cooking wine, how could the pig's trotters smell fragrant? Remember that 2000 grams of pig trotters requires 10 spoons of cooking wine! If the amount is reduced, the cooking wine should also be halved.

12. 12 Prepare a clean glass and pour 4 full cups of water into the secret braised pig's trotters. The pig's trotters must be covered with water at all times.

    

13. 13 Add 4 tablespoons of salt to the secret braised pig's trotters, adjust according to your own taste. For strong flavors, 4 tablespoons of salt is enough. Add 1 tablespoon of salt per 500 grams. For a lighter taste, you can add 3 tablespoons of salt. If there are drinkers at home, the taste will need to be stronger. Just adjust measures to local conditions according to the actual situation.
