knack for cooking
1, the trotters should be cooked tender and refreshing. After the first blanching, stir with cold water, and the cortex on pig's trotters will shrink rapidly. It will be soft when eaten, not too mushy, and it will be delicious after a little chewing. So blanch the water first, so as to boil the dirty blood inside the pig's trotters, wash off the floating foam on the surface of the pig's trotters and reduce the grease.
2, white radish fiber, not easy to cook. Finally, it is more delicious to continue cooking in the pot.
3. Spices used in recipes: star anise, cinnamon, etc. You can adjust it according to your own taste. If it's too much trouble, you can only put star anise and cinnamon, but adding a little pepper tastes better. Small spices, such as fennel seeds, can be packed in cloth bags or halogen balls and put into the pot, otherwise they will stick to the ingredients and affect the taste.
To make this dish, the potato must be cut into large pieces, otherwise it will be easy to cook.
Finally, the juice should be collected on the fire. Bian Xiao also poured the juice on the pig's trotters with a colander, so that spices and broken bones wouldn't pour on the pig's trotters.
