Chinese cuisine is broad and profound. Chinese chefs can make delicious dishes from various ingredients, such as pig's trotters, which are rich in collagen. Long-term consumption can replenish the collagen needed by the human body. It is a beauty and nourishing ingredient.

(The pictures are all from the Internet and have been deleted.) Pig's trotters are divided into front hooves and hind hooves. However, the taste of the food after you buy it home is not satisfactory. In fact, you did not choose the right ingredients.

The movement of pigs mainly depends on the front legs and front hooves. The muscles of the front hooves are more developed, tendons, and the taste is stronger and chewier. It is perfect for making braised pig's trotters, braised pig's trotters or roasted pig's trotters;

Hoofs, on the other hand, have less meat, more bones, and no tendons. They are more suitable for stewing soup with soybeans and corn.

For this reason, you should choose the right pig's trotters according to the cooking method. You may wish to make a judgment from the following three aspects - 1. Look at the tendons. You can see from the cross section of the tendons. If it is the front hoof, due to the frequent activity, the tendons

If the tendons are relatively thick, and if the tendons are small and not obvious, they are the hind hooves.

2. Look at the appearance. Pigs often move their front legs to walk. The front legs are more curved, while the hind legs are straighter. When purchasing, the front hooves appear to be more curved, and the rear hooves are straighter.

3. Look at the size of the toes. Each foot of a pig has four toes, two big ones and two small ones. The toes on the front hooves are a little larger than the toes on the hind legs.

Let me share with you how to make braised pig's trotters at home - (1) Burn the hair on the pig's trotters, wash and chop into small pieces, blanch and drain; (2) Heat the oil in the pan and stir-fry, add an appropriate amount of white wine
