Spare ingredients: 2 trotters, 5 slices of ginger, 3 shallots, a little salt, 2 star anise, small pieces of dried tangerine peel/kloc-0, 2 dried red peppers, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce 1 tablespoon, beer 1 bottle, and a proper amount of warm water;

Production process: Step 1, clean two pig's trotters, chop them up, soak them in clean water 1 hour, and change the blood water halfway. After the blood in the trotters is fully forced out, take it out, add water to the pot, and blanch the chopped trotters in cold water;

Step 2: After the water is boiled, continue to cook for 3 minutes, take it out, rinse it with warm water, and control the moisture. Then, after the shallots are selectively washed, they are tied into onion knots or cut into sections to prepare a large piece of cut ginger and other seasonings at the same time;

Step 3: Heat the wok on high fire, pour in a little cooking oil, then add 2 spoonfuls of sugar, and stir-fry slowly on low heat. When the white sugar melts, slowly stir-fry until caramel color, put the blanched trotters into the pot and continue to stir-fry until the trotters change color;

Step 4, put ginger slices, onion segments, star anise, dried tangerine peel and dried chili into a pot, stir-fry evenly, then add soy sauce, soy sauce and beer, add clean water without pig's trotters, cover the pot and start to cook, and after the fire is boiled, turn to low heat and simmer slowly;

Step 5, stew the trotters until they are soft and rotten for almost 2 hours, then open the pot cover, season with salt to collect thick soup, and then take out the stewed trotters to enjoy.

Bian Xiao concluded that pig's trotters can be stewed with a variety of ingredients, such as kelp, soybeans and fermented bean curd. They are all classic combinations, especially eating pig's trotters in the New Year, which has a good meaning, such as "making a fortune and cuddling money". Therefore, while there is still a period of time before the Chinese New Year, learning to make trotters is a good choice for Chinese New Year banquets or New Year's Eve dinners, especially for female friends.

Expand:

1. Chop the trotters and soak them in clear water for a while. After soaking, the blood in the trotters will be squeezed out, which will help to remove the fishy smell. After soaking in water, the trotters will taste better. Pay attention to cold water when blanching.

2. When stewing pig's trotters, the added water must be warm water or hot water. Do not add cold water. Otherwise, it is easy to shrink the pig's trotters when it is cold and hot, and there is firewood. In addition to water, adding some beer helps to remove the fishy smell, and you won't feel bored when you eat it;

3. Because of soy sauce, soy sauce, etc. They are all salty, so it is necessary to add a proper amount of salt, and pay attention to the time of adding salt, otherwise it will solidify the protein inside the pig's trotters and make it difficult to be released. On the one hand, it is not conducive to absorbing nutrition, on the other hand, it will hinder the pig's trotters from being stewed soft and rotten.
