I don’t know whether eating trotters will replenish collagen or not, but it’s cool to eat trotters!
Looking through my recipes, it’s really all meat and pasta. What should I do if I don’t eat meat? I really can’t live without meat. If you don’t have hard dishes, you don’t want to eat. Hahahahaha

Ingredients

2 or so Trotters
Some Green Onions And Ginger
Some Soy Sauce

one slice Bay Leaf

piece Fermented Bean Curd

Braised Pork Trotters

1. Put the trotters and green onion ginger into the pot in cold water, boil to remove the foam

2. Alright

3. Put oil and rock sugar in the pot, and melt into this color with a low heat, which is light brown. The color should not be too dark, it will be bitter.

4. Put the pig's knuckles in at the same time, turn the heat up, and stir-fry evenly

5. Add green onion and ginger, stir fry, add light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, stir fry for color

6. Then transfer to the casserole together, put all the spices in a small bag for easy removal

7. Add boiling water, red dates and spice bag, bring to a boil on high heat, and simmer on low heat

8. About an hour or so, pick out the spice bag, add a piece of fermented bean curd, taste it is not enough, add salt, and then heat up the juice.

Tips:
1. For meat blanching, it is best to use a pot under cold water to fully cook out the impurities
2. Red dates and fermented bean curd are used to increase the flavor of pig's trotters. For fermented bean curd, it is best to add rose fermented bean curd to make the color better.
3. The fried sugar color is actually melting the caramel. It's better to lighten the caramel instead of dark. You can turn on a small fire and watch the color. Once it becomes dark brown, it will be bitter. Then don't fry things, rather don't.
