Mom Teaches Me to Stew Soy Beans with Trotters
1.
900g trotters are chopped into pieces, washed, soaked in clean water for 15 minutes to remove blood. (I hate bone dregs when I eat stewed soybeans, so when I buy them in the supermarket, I ask the master to use a machine to help me cut the trotters into small pieces so that there will be no small bones)
2.
Pour 40g vegetable oil into the pot, heat up, add the trotters and stir fry.
3.
Stir-fry for about ten minutes on medium heat. When the pig's trotters are fried until the skin feels a little burnt, add 10g rock sugar and clean 8g cinnamon, 3g star anise, 2g bay leaves, 0.6g peppercorns, and continue to stir fry. (This time it only needs to stir-fry for about two minutes, just to get the caramel color, the aroma of cinnamon, aniseed and peppercorns are also fried).
4.
Immediately pour 1000ml of boiling water into the pot (if you add cold water directly, the meat will suddenly shrink when cold, and it will not be so easy to be stewed later).
5.
Continue to add 10g of salt, 15g of soy sauce, 6g of vinegar and 300g of soaked soybeans in the pot. (Dried soybeans usually need to be soaked in water for about four hours in advance, but my family prefers to have a hard texture, so this time we did not soak the soybeans.)
6.
Pour all the ingredients in the pot into the electric pressure cooker, cut 25g sliced ginger and a dried chili (weighing about 0.8g), cover the pressure cooker lid and press for 25 minutes.
7.
After pressing, pour all the ingredients back into the pot. Use high heat to boil the soup to dryness. During the cooking process, you can use chopsticks to pick out all the fragrant leaves, star anise, cinnamon, and peppercorns, so as not to affect the big mouthful later. beans.
8.
Fill the pig's feet with stewed soybeans and sprinkle with 2g chopped green onions (if you don't like to eat green onions, skip this step).
Tips:
1. Remind everyone to make the normal version of stewed pig's feet with soy beans. Dry soy beans must be soaked for four hours in advance, otherwise they will not have the very powdery and floury taste. Our husband just likes to eat it very much. It has a soft taste, so I did not soak it in advance this time.
2. After the dish is ready, you can hardly taste the spiciness. I put a dried chili just to enrich the taste of this dish. If you like spicy food, you need to add a little more chili.
3. One more thing to note, I personally don't recommend putting garlic on the stewed trotters. It will taste strange if you put garlic on the stewed trotters.
