cooking skills

1. trotters are delicious but not easy to cook. The biggest problem is that once trotters are not cooked well, they always have an unpleasant smell, which is what many people call "Sao flavor".

2. If you pay attention to the following three points, you can make delicious sauce trotters:

1) Before making them, you must blanch the trotters first, then blanch the trotters with water, and don't use them again.

2) There are more spices and ingredients in sauce trotters, especially cinnamon, pepper, ginger and green onions, which are more than other meats we usually cook.

besides, don't forget to put garlic.

3) In step (3), cooking wine is immediately cooked after the trotters are put in, which can effectively remove the odor of the trotters.

3. In step (4), white sugar is added to add flavor to pig's trotters during the stewing process.

Adding crystal sugar in step (5) can make the finished pig's trotters more beautiful in color.

4. The pig's trotters need to be stewed for a long time, and it is easy to stick to the bottom of the pot after the pig's skin becomes soft and waxy. If it is made in a non-stick pot, it will keep the skin integrity of the pig's trotters better than that made in an iron pot.

5. The cooked sauced trotters are equally delicious when eaten hot or after cooling.

in summer, with a cold beer, that's the icing on the cake.
