Cooking steps
1, prepare the required ingredients, soak the soybeans in clear water overnight in advance, chop the trotters into small pieces, soak them in clear water several times until the bleeding water is fully soaked, cut the ginger into shredded ginger, wash the shallots and roll them into onion knots, and wash the peanuts and red dates to remove the surface dust;
2. Put the pig's trotters in cold water, add the fragrant leaves, cinnamon, shallots and ginger slices of 1/2, then add 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, boil over high fire until a large amount of floating powder is boiled, continue to cook for about 3 minutes, and then take it out with a colander and rinse it with warm water;
3. Put all the scalded trotters, soybeans, dried tangerine peel and the remaining ginger slices into the pot, add the water without trotters, add enough at one time, and don't add it again in the middle. Bring to a boil with a big fire, and simmer with a small fire; Note that adding a proper amount of dried tangerine peel can effectively remove fishy smell on the one hand, and speed up the stewing of trotters on the other hand, but not too much dried tangerine peel to avoid overshadowing the fragrance of trotters themselves;
4. After stewing for about 45 minutes, pour in red dates and peanuts, and continue stewing with medium and small fire; Of course, you can also put red dates and peanuts together with soybeans. After the peanuts are stewed, they will have a crispy taste in the powder, which is very popular among family members, so choose to put them later, depending on personal preference;
5. After about half an hour, after all the pig's trotters and ingredients are stewed, add a proper amount of salt, stir well and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
Summary:
1, it is not recommended to put pepper in stewed pig's trotters. The taste of pepper is a bit blunt. Although it is fishy, it is not suitable for stewed pig's trotters. It is easy to cross the taste, so it is not worth the loss.
2. Before stewing, it is best to add enough water at one time, with no trotters as the standard, but if there is too little soup, you can add a proper amount of hot water;
3. In the final seasoning, the salt should not be put too early, which is not conducive to the release of nutrients on the one hand, and is not conducive to the soft and rotten meat on the other hand, and put it before the pot. You can try salty after seasoning, so as to better satisfy your own taste.
