Usually, we will see cooked braised pig's trotters in the deli. The color is red and bright, which is very attractive. Especially when we are hungry, it is even more mouth-watering. When we take a bite, there will be a fragrance between our lips and teeth. Today, we bought two trotters to alleviate the hunger of our family.
Prepare ingredients:
2 trotters, lotus root 1 root, sliced onion and ginger, garlic, cooking wine, oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt, rock sugar, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, fragrant leaves, fennel, tsaoko and a bottle of Yanjing beer.
Step one:
Chop pig's trotters into small pieces, peel lotus root, wash and cut into pieces, and slice fresh ginger for later use.
Step two:
Put a proper amount of water into the pot, add pig's trotters, onions, ginger slices and cooking wine, boil and skim off the foam, remove and wash with water.
Step 3:
Pour oil from another pot, add rock sugar when the oil is hot, and simmer slowly. When the crystal sugar melts and turns into Huang Shi, add pig's trotters, stir-fry until it changes color, then add fragrant leaves, cinnamon, fennel, star anise, two tsaoko, light soy sauce, a little black soy sauce for coloring, a little cooking wine to remove fishy smell, pour in half a bottle of beer and add some water. Turn it down.
Step 4:
Add chopped lotus root pieces, cover and stew for another 20 minutes until the trotters are soft and rotten. Sprinkle some chopped green onion (or chopped coriander) on the pan.
Tips:
1, time is very important when frying rock sugar. It is not easy to color when frying for a short time. After a long time, sugar will have caramel flavor, which will affect the taste. Stir-fry until it turns yellow just right.
2. Pouring beer can make pig's trotters tender. We can also put it in the stew, especially when making braised pork, and we can add some beer in moderation.
The trotters made in this way are particularly delicious, fat but not greasy, and the aroma is overflowing. The trotters are full of collagen, with lotus root slices and vegetarian dishes. Did you get the beauty?
