Now the beauties are clamoring to lose weight. The flesh of the "three highs" is like a plague god, and everyone dare not touch it. Although our three meals a day do not include meat, meat is indeed an indispensable daily food. We cannot ignore our physical conditions and simply abandon meat. I dare say that in the hearts of many people, the desire for meat is still very straightforward. Even a lady, maybe the one who likes meat is crazy in her bones! So, sometimes you don’t need to be too demanding on yourself, don’t stand up, eat meat if you want, and the meat has to be eaten in such a big bite to get the taste of meat and the feeling of meat, right?

Brine Pierced Hoof

1. Remove the bones of the pig's knuckles and wash, spread with salt and marinate for about 30 minutes, then wash

2. Pour water, old brine soup and pork knuckles into the pot. The brine should be able to immerse the food. Add spices: star anise, five-spice powder, cinnamon, pepper, bay leaves, fennel, licorice, grass fruit, peppercorns, ginger slices, Salt, turn to medium and low heat and cook for 1 hour

3. Wait for the brine to cool down before picking up the pig's knuckles

4. Put the hooves skin down on the cling film, roll it up and wrap the cling film, and then wrap the hooves horizontally and vertically with a string, and tie it tightly

5. Put it in the refrigerator for more than 2 hours to set

6. After 2 hours of cooling through, slice it

7. Mince garlic

8. Use fresh soy sauce, minced garlic, chili oil, and pepper powder to make a juice

9. It can be eaten with the sauce, or the original flavor is very fragrant

Tips:
1. Food with meat skin must be sliced and eaten after it is cooled thoroughly, so that the pork skin will taste like a rubber band;
2. If you have old braised soup, it is better. If you don't have it, you can add it according to your usual anise, or you can directly add the braised bag and add some star anise, cinnamon, pepper, dried chili, etc.;
3. It can also be tied when the pig's knuckles are raw. I like to bind it after the stew, so that it tastes more delicious;
4. Deboning can be considered a technical job. The deboning of the hoof can be handed over to the salesperson. I bought a ready-made deboned pig's hoof.
