"Baiyun Pig's Hand" is a famous dish in Guangdong history. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a temple on Baiyun Mountain. One day, the elder who presided over the hospital went down the mountain to beg. A young monk in the temple took the opportunity to get a pig's hand and wanted to taste it. Outside the mountain gate, he found a crock and cooked it on the stove in the basement. The pig's hand was just cooked, but unfortunately the elders gave it back. Afraid of being seen by the elders, the young monk broke the Buddhist precepts and quickly threw the pig's hand into the stream at the foot of the mountain. The next day, a woodcutter went up the mountain to collect firewood and passed by the mountain stream. He found this pig hand and picked it up at home and seasoned it with sugar, salt and vinegar. Its skin is crisp and fleshy, sweet and sour. Soon, the processing method of pig hands spread in the local area. Because it originated at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, people later called it "Baiyun Pig Hand".

Now Guangzhou's "Baiyun Pig's Hand" is well-made, from the original indigenous cooking to five processes of burning, scraping, chopping, boiling, soaking and pickling. It is said that the most exquisite "Baiyun Pig Hand" is soaked in the Jiulong Spring of Baiyun Mountain.

? The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the taste is weak, and my appetite is not good. You'd better eat something sweet and sour. The day before yesterday, on the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, I bought three pig hands and brewed "Baiyun Pig Hands" at home.

What is a pig hand? Lao Guang said that the front hoof is a pig's hand and the back hoof is a pig's foot. It is said that trotters are rich in collagen, which can prevent dry and wrinkled skin, enhance skin elasticity and toughness, and delay aging. It is an excellent "beauty food" for women. Whether this is the real situation remains to be studied. Anyway, it's sultry before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, so it's also an excellent thing to have a bite of Baiyun pig's hand.

Get down to business. The step of buying a pig's hand to burn greatly reduces the difficulty. The boss who sells pork has burned all the pig hair with a spray gun. Just rinse it, boil it in water and scrape it off.

Boil it a little, pour it out and scrape it clean, then add water to the pot for one minute and then pour it out. If it is three times, there is no blood in the pot. Then add cooking wine, ginger slices and salt to cook for 10 minute, so that the pig's hands are a little fragrant. After the pig's hands were cooked, I soaked in water for ten minutes. The purpose of this is to make pigs' hands white and sell well. The Baiyun pig's hands in the restaurant are all white, and it is estimated that chemicals were used. Anyway, I've been cooking for more than 20 years, and I still can't make the effect of a restaurant.

Well, that's the effect after the last rinse.

I forgot to make it clear that the vinegar soaked in pig's trotters should be refrigerated in the refrigerator to cool it. I use apple vinegar and white vinegar, which I personally think tastes better. It doesn't matter if it's just vinegar. Vinegar chilled in advance will make the pig's hand shrink its pores when it is cold and taste more refreshing.

I used three bottles of vinegar and 500 ml of cold boiled water to make vinegar. Add more than100g of rock sugar. Apple vinegar is sweet, so I will reduce my sugar intake. This depends on personal taste.

Side dishes: seasonal ginger, crisp and tender, an excellent partner for pig hands. Marinate the slices with salt for a while, drain the water and soak them in vinegar later.

Pig's hand and ginger are put together in vinegar. For better taste, add a little green and red pepper.

Exclusive secret recipe: In order to make the taste fresh and natural, I added lemon juice. And a warm reminder: don't soak lemon slices. I have tried it before, and found that it will have a little bitter taste of lemon peel after soaking for a long time.

Put it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Hold on for 24 hours without stealing! Otherwise, my lack of taste is irresponsible. After a long wait, we can finally eat! Bite a pig's hand, it's refreshing, sour and sweet with a little spicy taste, which makes people feel refreshed. Try ginger. It's crispy and drooling. At present, complicated work procedures and long waiting for food have become so insignificant!

I don't care much about the effect of beauty trotters. I just like the smell, the smell, I just like it. Eating feels like a cool breeze blowing on a hot day. Also, in fact, more often, I only eat ginger instead of meat, because the growing fat pile around my waist reminds me all the time: shut up and take your legs!
