Steps
1. Wash the pig's feet you bought, have them chopped when you bought them, and soak the soybeans (it's best to soak them in advance).
2. Wash and slice the ginger, take out the star anise, pepper and rock sugar and set aside (green onions, cinnamon, and bay leaves can also be added if available).
3. Boil water in a pot, put the pig's feet into the boiling water and boil them to remove the blood and foam, then take them out and set aside.
4. Heat an appropriate amount of oil in the pot, sauté the pepper until fragrant, take it out and discard it.
5. Add rock sugar and stir-fry until the sugar color turns white. Turn on low heat and stir-fry until the rock sugar melts and foams.
6. Add the pig's feet and stir-fry until colored.
7. Put the pig's feet aside, add ginger slices, star anise and stir-fry until fragrant, add appropriate amount of dark soy sauce and cooking wine.
8. Add an appropriate amount of boiling or warm water. It is better not to boil the pig's feet. Do not add cold water. Adding cold water will easily cause the pig's feet to shrink and harden.
9. Pour into a pressure cooker or a rice cooker. It is best to use a rice cooker. Simmering over low heat will make it more flavorful. You can also keep track of the reduction of the soup at any time. Use the rice cooker to cook for an hour and open the lid. Add appropriate amount of salt and thirteen spices, then cover and cook until the soup is gone, then sprinkle with chicken essence.
10. I used a pressure cooker, but the rice cooker was broken. Although it cooks quickly, it is difficult to control the amount of juice. You have to turn off the heat and release the air from time to time and open the lid to see if the soup has dried up. You are afraid that it will become mushy. After cooking for about half an hour, open the lid and add an appropriate amount. Salt, thirteen spices, soybeans.
11. Cover and cook until the soup dries up, then sprinkle with chicken essence.
