You don’t need to add rock sugar to the pig’s trotter soup, because everyone’s taste is different. Let's take a look at the steps to make this pig's trotter soup:
The steps to make pig's trotter soup:
1. First prepare an appropriate amount of dried peanuts and soak them in warm water for an hour, then soak Finally, remove the red coat of the peanuts.
Then, heat and fry the two pig trotters. This step is to remove the fishy smell of the skin and residual pig hair. After roasting (or frying), scrape off the charred areas and wash them with clean water. Chop into small pieces.
2. Chop it into small pieces and boil water in the pot. Add the cold water to the pig's trotters and pour in an appropriate amount of cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. After the water is boiled, remove the foam in the pot.
Cook for about 2 minutes until the blood foam is fully boiled, then take it out and rinse it with clean water.
3. After the simple preparation is completed, start stewing the soup.
In order to control the heat more accurately, I used an induction cooker to finish it today. Add water to the pot, add the pig's trotters, turn on the power and simmer over high heat for 30 minutes.
The fat in the pig's trotters will overflow during stewing. If you don't like it too greasy, you can use a spoon to remove the foam.
If you want the pig's trotters soup to be rich and milky, the fire must be high when simmering, so that the nutrients can be fully analyzed and integrated into the soup.
After 30 minutes, add the peanuts and simmer over low heat. The peanuts have been soaked in advance and should be simmered for about 10 minutes.
When it is about eight times cooked, turn down the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for a while. Thousands of boils are not as good as one simmer. When simmering, it will not mess up the soup and can extract more nutrients.
Simmer for about two to three minutes and add a few red dates to bring out the sweetness of the red dates.
Then add an appropriate amount of salt to adjust the base flavor, then take it out of the pot and put it on a plate. Sprinkle in a few wolfberry berries and it's delicious.
