Tips:
1. The peanuts are soaked first, and then they will be crispy and waxy when they are boiled, and the color of the soup will be better;
2. I use small deep-sea kelp, no need to soak, wash or cook in advance, if you use dried kelp, you need to treat the dried kelp in advance;
3. If you don't use a pressure cooker, it is difficult to cook the trotters in a short period of time. It is a good way to stew them while cooking. You can also stew the trotters until they are crispy and rotten;
4. The grease must be removed, otherwise everyone knows the consequences.
The method of removing grease depends on personal habits. In fact, using a spoon to skim out the fat is the most stupid way. I have a coup: the cooked trotters and the soup are cooled to room temperature and placed in the refrigerator for more than 4 hours. The fat will condense on the surface, which is easy to do. Scratched out. It's just a matter of trouble, and I have to stop being greedy.
