The trotters are delicious and beautiful, and the beauties who cry every day to lose weight can hardly resist its temptation.

Hanlin Braised Pig's Trotter is a famous delicacy in Ding'an County, Hainan Province. I didn’t eat it when I went to Hainan. I searched the Internet and learned about the general method. I also tried to imagine making it. Although it is not authentic, I love it. For gourmets, we can try anything, right?

I have summarized the practice of Hanlin trotters. The most different thing from my usual braised trotters is that we must use peanut oil. For this reason, I bought a small bottle of peanut oil, because we rarely use peanut oil in order to buy a small bottle. Yes, I went to a few supermarkets to buy it.

I used to think that peanut oil is easier to gain weight than other oils, so I buy less. In fact, now that I think there is a problem, it is better to change the oil.

The peanut oil in the supermarket comes in large bottles, so I went to a few shops to get small bottles.

Why is Hanlin Braised Pig's Trotter so famous? It turns out that there is such a story behind it:
The ancient city of Ding'an has a history of more than 700 years, and a Ximen Wharf has become a local transportation hub. People come and go, gradually forming a prosperous small town, attracting countless people to stop and stay, thus giving birth to the prosperity of local food and snacks. The legend of Ding'an delicacy seems to be inextricably linked to Emperor Wenzong, and Hanlin Braised Pig's Trotter is one of them.
According to legend, Tupamul, who was still a prince at the time, praised the deliciousness after tasting the Hanlin braised pig's feet. From then on, a home-cooked dish was crowned with a halo of praise from the prince, and his fame was far and wide. "

Tips:
Ingredients: 2 trotters

Marinating seasoning: garlic, salt, cooking wine, white wine, ginger slices, 3 pieces of soy bean curd, 2 pieces of orange peel, pepper and star anise

Braised seasoning: peanut oil, peppercorns, bay leaves, 1 piece of cinnamon, 1 piece of garlic, ginger, and 1 star anise

Decoration: green onion

1. There are some spices that I imagined and I like to add in my usual cooking, such as pepper, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc., and a small amount of white wine is added to remove the fishy smell.

2. It is written online that Hanlin braised pig's trotters should be added with cloves and tangerine peels. I didn’t buy these two, so I didn’t add cloves. The tangerine peels were replaced by orange peels. Don’t put too much orange peels, otherwise the taste will be overwhelming a feeling of.

3. When braising, you can add some rock sugar. I usually add rock sugar when making similar dishes. I forgot about it today.

4. In the process of braising the pig's knuckles, I didn't add any other seasonings except for some spices, because when I pickled it, I put it in a strong flavor, and I feel that salt is no longer needed. This can be based on my own habits If the salt taste is not enough when marinating, add some light soy sauce or salt during the braising process.

5. The braising process is best carried out in a casserole.
