[Pork trotters stewed with kelp] - simple yet delicious

Overview

By the way, it’s February 2 again, and I’ve loved this day since I was a kid. There is a saying: On February 2, the dragon raises its head. According to the old calendar, haircuts are not allowed in the first month of the first lunar month, but the second day of the second lunar month is an auspicious day, so haircuts are scheduled for this day, which is called dragon head shaving, which also means getting some good luck. In my hometown, the activities on February 2 are not only about haircuts, but also a very important part is eating, eating pig heads and pig trotters. So, I like this day, because I love pig trotters~~ This year’s pig trotters were cooked by my mother here. According to my mother’s method, they were simmered for more than three hours, and they were very soft and fragrant~~ Ingredients: 1 pig’s trotters, a handful of soybeans, an appropriate amount of kelp, a piece of ginger, 1 star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, cooking wine, dark soy sauce, and an appropriate amount of salt
