Crispy Boneless Hooves
1.
Cut the yuan hoof to the end along the direction of the leg bones
2.
Then use the tip of a knife to slowly peel off the leg bones from the meat.
3.
Wrap the raw hoof meat with twine, and tie it as tightly as possible.
4.
Leave it in the water for 15 minutes.
5.
Take out the yuan hoof after the water is completed.
Use a rake/fork to pierce as many small holes in the skin as possible.
(Helps to overflow the lard when roasting)
6.
Put it into the soup base mainly made of white brine and cook for 2-3 hours.
(I made the white brine: star anise, pepper, grass fruit, cinnamon, bay leaf, green onion, ginger and garlic)
7.
After removing the boiled hooves, cut off the twine.
(At this time, Yuan Ti has been finalized)
After applying a thin layer of soy sauce, let the surface dry in a ventilated place.
(If you don’t feel sticky to the touch, the drier the skin, the crispier the baked effect will be)
8.
Put the dried hooves in the oven.
400 degrees Fahrenheit/200 degrees Celsius, roast for 40 minutes;
350 degrees Fahrenheit/170 degrees Celsius, bake for 5-10 minutes;
(This process should pay close attention to the changes of the skin, don't burn it)

Tips:
1. While it is hot, cut the skin and skin of the yuan hoof into small pieces, and try to have flesh and skin on each piece.
2. The whole process of cooking the hooves did not put any seasoning, but absorbed the flavor of the spices in the white brine. Therefore, it is recommended to use a dry powder form (a mixture of sea salt, chili powder, and cumin powder) for the dip.
3. In order to get a better appearance, Yuanhu try to pick some with smaller diameter difference between top and bottom.
