Steps
-
Prepare the ingredients in the picture, pig trotters, ginger, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and rock sugar. The pig's trotters were chopped into pieces when purchased
-
Put the pig's trotters in cold water and boil for two minutes, adding a spoonful of cooking wine during this period. Rinse the pig's trotters after being drained, pick them up and drain them
-
Fry the sugar color, leave a small amount of oil in the pot, add rock sugar and heat over low heat until the rock sugar melts completely, continue to stir-fry over low heat for a while until it turns yellow and thickens into caramel color
-
Add the drained pig's trotters and stir-fry until evenly coated with sugar color. Add a spoonful of cooking wine halfway. The longer the stir-fry time, the darker the color will be. It would be better if you use a non-stick pan for this step
-
Prepare a casserole and put the fried sugar-colored pig's trotters into the casserole
-
Add star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, ginger, 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, one tablespoon of dark soy sauce, a little salt and water to cover the pig's trotters. Boil water, cover and simmer for 50-60 minutes
-
The color of the finished product is very beautiful, and it is stewed until only a small amount of soup is left, so there is no need to use high heat to reduce the juice. This soup can be used twice and is also delicious when used to cook noodles. Of course, in the end, you can use the fire to remove the juice as you like
