Eating is an eternal topic.
Some people say that China's culture is eating culture. People used to be afraid of not having enough to eat, but now they are afraid of not eating well, especially during the Chinese New Year holidays. They all leave their best things at home to entertain their closest relatives or the most distinguished guests. Take the case of Northeast Killing Year Pig as an example. In the past, they always left the best meat for their guests to eat, in order to feel full. Now, they are even more afraid of leaving chewing parts such as pig's trotters and pig's ears to entertain guests, because these things can meet the needs.
If you can't eat enough, you can eat well
This time, I would like to introduce a delicious "secret pig's trotters" that I like best in my hometown for the New Year. Not only beautiful, but also not greasy when eaten too much. One-year-old pigs need to be carefully fed for one and a half years, and only four trotters grow in total. Definitely more expensive than pork. There are still many people who want to eat, not the most distinguished guests, not the closest relatives, and they all taste terrible. If you don't believe me, you can ask your relatives who have a one-year-old pig.
Giving love is the secret recipe, which is the difference between a chef and a mother.
Speaking of this "secret trotters", the key lies in the preparation before production. First of all, pig's trotters should be depilated with enough patience, care and love. They can't rough it like restaurants. Now most of the cooked pig's trotters bought outside are produced by industrial assembly line. They will use asphalt or rosin oil to uniformly depilate pig's trotters and then bleach them. Although the pig's trotters produced in this way look clean, they have seriously damaged the taste. Some people may suggest burning pigs.
Artificial plucking ensures fresh and tender meat.
Our pig's trotters must be artificially depilated and pulled out one by one, almost with tweezers. It would be better if it was a black-haired pig. If it meets a white-haired pig, it needs a pair of good eyes. When it is really unclear, you can find it by touching it with your hands. In short, this is a delicate job. It takes less than half an hour to pull out a pig's trotters. Four trotters need at least two hours, plus repeated cleaning, all four are in vain.
Be sure to cook in a casserole, it will taste more.
Next, put the trotters in a casserole, soak them in purified water for a short time, then pour out the water, re-inject an appropriate amount of purified water to completely submerge the trotters, and then add a small amount of simple seasonings, most of which are planted at home, including green onions, peppers and ginger slices. In fact, these are enough, and some people will add some pepper, aniseed and a little cooking wine. Note that additives such as salt and soy sauce are not allowed here, and steamed buns are not allowed.
After the fire boils, simmer for about half an hour.
The cooking process is also very particular. First, boil it with high fire, and then simmer it with slow fire in a few minutes. Time can be controlled according to the guest's mouth shape. Generally, half an hour is enough. Do not open the lid after turning off the fire, continue to stew with the remaining temperature of the casserole, and then open the lid after natural cooling. No accident. At this time, the pig's trotters have blossomed, and the seasonings such as onions and ginger floating on them are fished out and thrown away. So far, the secret trotters are basically good.
Pay attention to your diet. You have to wait a year and a half if you eat wrong.
Anyone who can eat knows that trotters can't be cut with a knife. You have to start breaking them with your skin along the seams. These fragments should not be too big or too small. Try to make every piece have skin, so it's delicious. This is the first condition; Then there is the pig's trotters must be eaten cold, not hot steamed in the pot, which will also destroy its taste. Remember, if you eat wrong, you can only wait for the pig next year.
Of course, when eating, you should make seasonings according to your own taste.
I'd rather have nothing than something shoddy.
My parents told us from an early age that "a mouthful of peaches is not as good as a basket of rotten apricots", that is, let us learn to lack everything, and at the same time don't learn to eat ginseng fruit like Pig Bajie. Only by knowing how to cherish and learn to taste can we taste the taste of life and appreciate this delicious food with affection and love. Producers are keen on dedication, and consumers should also know how to cherish it.
This kind of pig's trotters has no additives and pigments, and it tastes pure and delicious, and it is very chewy. It is the favorite of the elderly, children and beautiful women. In fact, it is not bad as an appetizer, but it is a waste for them!
