Step 1: Chop the trotters and clean them. Generally, buying pig's trotters will be chopped. Boil water in the pot, put the trotters in cold water, add cooking wine and ginger to remove the fishy smell, cook for 5 minutes on high fire, and then take them out and clean them again after 5 minutes.

Step 2: Bring the pot to a boil with high fire, put the trotters into the pot, add ginger, star anise, fragrant leaves, cinnamon, pepper and dried pepper, cover the pot, stew for half an hour, add soy sauce and soy sauce after half an hour, cover the pot, simmer for one hour, add spiced, sugar, salt and pepper after one hour, cover the pot, cover the pot.

The above is the authentic method of marinating pig's trotters. When marinating pig's trotters, blood must be removed, and the method of removing blood is blanching. If the blood is not removed, then the stewed pig's trotters are not fragrant at all, but also very greasy. Many people often ignore the blanching step. No wonder braised trotters are not fragrant or greasy.
