The most important thing in making pig's trotters is that the pig's trotters should not have a peculiar smell, so the step of blanching the pig's feet is very important. It must be cooked thoroughly, and the blood inside is boiled. Adding pepper can well remove the smell. Be sure to rinse with running water before refilling the pot. When it is cooked like this, there is only the smell of meat and sauce all over the room, and you will drool if you smell it! The braised trotters I made have a lighter taste, which is suitable for our family's taste. For children's shoes with heavy taste, you can increase the amount of salt, soy sauce, and chili.

Marinated Pig's Trotters

1. Preparation materials: trotters and other spices and seasonings

2. All accessories except rock sugar are wrapped with gauze

3. Wash the pig's trotter into a pot of cold water, add some peppercorns and cook together. After boiling, boil for a while to remove the blood (the peppercorns can be very good to remove the fishy, do not cover the lid when cooking to let the fishy smell radiate)

4. Rinse the trotters with running water and put them in the pot again, add water to boil

5. Then add the packaged ingredients and all the seasonings to boil, turn to low heat and simmer for about 1 hour until the trotters are soft and rotten (salt can be added later, and then added after the trotters are soft and rotten)

6. Take out the trotters and drain the soup (don’t leave the pot immediately after cooking, you can simmer the trotters with a lid to make the trotters more delicious, and the soup can be chilled in the refrigerator after it’s cooled and used as a stew)
