Production process

Steps

Specific operations

Step 1

Shave and wash the pig trotters. The small down can be burned off with fire, cut off the claw tips and split in half, then chop into small pieces. (Or ask the aunt or uncle who sells pig trotters to chop it into small pieces for you).

Step 2

Blanch the pig's trotters, put the pig's trotters into the pot with cold water, boil the water, pick up the pig's trotters, and remove the blood and oil foam. Cut the ginger into thick slices, cut the green onions into sections and set aside, and cut the carrots into cubes.

Step 3

Put a little oil in a pot and heat it up. Add rock sugar or white sugar and fry until it becomes reddish brown and continues to bubble. When it boils, add the blanched pig's trotters. , and stir-fry over medium or high heat (high heat for quick hands). The more you stir-fry, the darker and firmer the color will be, and the color will not fade no matter how you cook it.

Step 4

Boil the water in the re-cooking pot in advance, add the colored pig's trotters, carrots, cooking oil and other seasonings, bring to a boil over high heat and lift the pot. Put the pot into the outer pot of the pot and wait for 40 minutes. Making braised pork trotters is that simple.

Tips

1. It is best to crush the rock sugar before use. When coloring and frying the rock sugar, stir-fry it over low heat to prevent it from turning black.
