How to make the dish of braised pork trotters in dry pot?
Many people like to eat big pig's trotters, but they don't know how to cook them. Today I will share with you a delicious and simple method of cooking pig's trotters.
1. Prepare aniseed: star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, fennel, angelica, pepper, scallions, ginger, garlic, rock sugar. You still need to refer to your own taste for the specific portion. I personally don’t like the strong taste of aniseed, so I put a little bit of each ingredient in. You can increase the amount appropriately.
2. Pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot, then directly put the pig's trotters into the pot under cold water, and then add green onion knots, cooking wine, and ginger slices into the pot. Boil water over high heat, remove the blood foam after boiling, then remove the pig's trotters, wash them with warm water and set aside.
3. Add rock sugar to the pot. If I don’t like sweetness, I just put in a few. If you like a little sweetness, you can add more. Stir-fry the pig's trotters until they turn red in color. Stir-fry for about 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, fennel, angelica, and peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant. Then pour in hot water until the water is full. It's almost done after passing the pig's trotters, and it's time to start cooking.
4. Add cooking wine, light soy sauce (for freshness), dark soy sauce (for coloring), oyster sauce, thirteen spices, and five-spice powder into the pot. After mixing, pour everything into the pressure cooker. The soup inside should just cover the pig's trotters, and then start to stew. Personally, I don't like the kind that is too rotten, so I only stew it for 40 minutes. If you like the kind that is soft and rotten, you can stew it for 50 minutes. to 60 minutes.
5. The last step is to collect the juice. You can use a pressure cooker to collect the juice by opening the lid, or pour it into the pot to collect the juice. I left very little soup in the end. I feel that this kind of pig's trotters is more delicious. If you like more juice, leave more. There is no big requirement. Remember to add salt to taste when collecting the juice. The pig's trotters are just right here. Completely made.
Place the prepared pig's trotters on a plate, then sprinkle some green peppers, small red peppers, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds for body fragrance. It's perfect!
