Braised pork trotters

Overview

Cantonese people must have pig's trotters during the Chinese New Year. Pig's trotters are called pig's trotters in Guangzhou. Pig's trotters have the meaning of being handy and getting rich. I made braised pig's trotters once before this year. The marinade for braised pig's trotters was prepared by the boss at a grocery store. It tasted great! Add more peanuts to the braised pig's trotters, which not only increases collagen, but also combines meat and vegetables to make it more enjoyable.
