Ginger vinegar trotters is a special dish in Guangdong, and there are many people who really eat them in the south. Because vinegar itself has the functions of whitening skin, improving freckles and sterilizing, and trotters are rich in collagen, which also has a conditioning effect on skin and can delay skin aging, so this dish is also loved by many people. Then the main seasonings for this dish are vinegar, ginger, rock sugar and pig's trotters. Of course, some people like to put some eggs in it. This egg must be cooked in advance.
First prepare pig's trotters to remove hair, and then chop them into small pieces for easy eating. Then peel the ginger and cut it into small pieces, or mash the ginger directly. Then add some oil to the pot, add the freshly cut ginger, stir-fry and release it for later use. Then pour water into the pot, put the pig's trotters in and cook them to remove the fishy smell. It takes about 5 minutes to walk. Then stew the trotters with ginger vinegar in a special soup pot, pour the crystal sugar and vinegar into the pot, and then cook with high fire. When the crystal sugar in it melts, add water, add the ginger slices on the trotters, and then turn the fire to medium heat and cook slowly. After boiling for 40 minutes, turn to low heat and cook slowly. It takes about half an hour to cook.
Actually, this dish is relatively simple. Since it is called ginger vinegar trotters, the main seasonings are ginger and vinegar. Ginger is best to choose old ginger, which will taste spicy, so that the dishes will have a special taste. Then the vinegar used can be old vinegar or fragrant vinegar, and it is best not to use white vinegar, because the production process of old vinegar and fragrant vinegar is more complicated and tastes sweeter. White vinegar may be easier to make, so the taste of the food may not be so good. Most of the vinegar we usually use for cooking in the kitchen is aged vinegar and balsamic vinegar, and balsamic vinegar is also the most commonly used for cold dishes. White vinegar is generally used for sterilization. Of course, some ladies like to dilute freckles with white vinegar. Admittedly, white vinegar also has this effect. In short, it is better to make ginger vinegar trotters with mature vinegar and balsamic vinegar.
