Tips:
1. When dividing the pig's trotter, do not chop hard, the knife will chop and collapse, you can cut the joint of the trotter, or you can ask the seller to help chop it when buying the trotter;
2. I heard Master Aki said that adding some maltose or honey when making brine trotters or braised trotters will make the skin of the trotters more eye-catching. I have tried it and it is true.
