Cantonese people must have pig trotters during the New Year. Pig trotters are called pig knuckles in Guangzhou. Pig knuckles have meanings such as being handy and getting rich. I made a braised pig's knuckle before this year. It is served by the boss, it tastes great! Put more peanuts in the stewed trotters, which not only increases the collagen, but also the meat and vegetable mix, which makes you eat more deliciously. "

Marinated Trotters

1. Brine ingredients: star anise, cinnamon, tangerine peel, grass fruit, cardamom, cumin, 1 pinch of Chinese pepper, a little clove, bay leaves and a little fragrant, dried chili.

2. Put the halogen material into the bag.

3. Pig trotters use a spray gun to remove the pig hair. I don’t have a spray gun. I put the trotters on a gas stove and removes the hair from the whole pig trotters. The skin will be more fragrant and elastic after being burned. Rinse once.

4. Boil the trotters with cold water in a pot, then rinse the blood foam with cold water and cut into pieces.

5. Put a little water and rock sugar in the wok, melt the rock sugar over a low fire, the rock sugar turns into amber color.

6. Add the pig's trotters, stir fry, and fry the pig's trotters until the skin is golden.

7. Add ginger and garlic and stir fry, then add cooking wine.

8. Add soy sauce and dark soy sauce.

9. Stir-fry the trotters and seasonings until the color of the trotters is red.

10. Put in the boiled water and brine bag without the ingredients, add peanuts, cover and boil, turn to low heat and simmer until the trotters are soft. Before turning off the heat, you can add salt to taste according to your taste.

Tips:
1 If you find it troublesome to fry the sugar, you can blanch the trotters and cook the trotters together with the brine.
2 The water added when braising the meat is boiling water. Turn it over during the stewing process to avoid sticking the pot.
3 Add salt last, otherwise it will be difficult to stew softly.
