Step 1

Clean pig's trotters and chop them into large pieces on the chopping board (if the knives at home are not bad, please let the butcher chop them up in advance). Blanch the trotters in a pot, cook a spoonful of wine and blanch the trotters for 2 minutes. After the scalded pig's trotters are taken out, rinse them with cold water again to wash off the blood foam.

Second step

Pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pot, pour in rock sugar, and stir-fry the sugar color for about 30 seconds on low heat until the rock sugar melts and the sugar water turns caramel color. Remember to turn on a small fire and keep stirring when frying sugar. If you feel that the fire is too big, you can cool the pot slightly from the fire. If the rock sugar is too big, it needs to be broken before use. If you accidentally fry the sugar, you must not use it any more. Stir it again. )

Third step

Pour in the trotters and stir-fry over low heat until the trotters are evenly coated with sugar.

Fourth step

Add star anise, fragrant leaves, onion ginger, soy sauce, soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, stir-fry and color, and add hot water without trotters.

Step five

After boiling, turn to low heat and stew for about 70-80 minutes until the trotters can be easily poked through with chopsticks.

Step 6

Turn the fire to collect the juice until the soup is thick.

Pig's trotters are red, bright and soft, and the soup is thick. It is delicious when it is hot.

Cooking skills of braised pig's trotters

skill

1/ Pig's trotters should buy pig's front hoofs, which are full of tendons and thick bones.

2/ If there is still some hair on the pig's trotters, it is not easy to operate by hand, and it is all in the cracks. At this time, they can be destroyed by fire. Professional spray guns can be used in a small area, or they can be baked directly on the gas stove. If there is a black paste on the surface of the burnt pig's trotters, put it in cold water to clean it in time.
