Pig trotter, also known as pig's foot, pig hand, yuan trotter, elbow, and pig elbow.
But no matter what the name is, it’s just a pig’s hoof anyway...
O(∩_∩)O haha~……
Trotter, everyone is no stranger to it,
This thing that makes women both love and hate,
Because it is not only a good beauty product,
At the same time, it's also a fatter stuff...
But, but, but...
In this delicious present,
I just want to beautify and beautify,
The long-fat horse will stay cooler first...
O(∩_∩)O haha~
The nutritional value of trotters,
Everyone must have heard...
The most famous is the collagen protein,
It can be transformed into gelatin during cooking, it can bind a lot of water,
So as to effectively improve the body's physiological functions and the water storage function of skin tissue cells,
Prevent premature skin wrinkles and delay skin aging.
It can be eaten by the general population,
It is also a good food therapy for the elderly, women, and people who have lost blood~~~
Some time ago,
A colleague of Baicai brought a big bag of Huamei from his hometown.
A little bit salty, a little bit sweet,
I always throw one in my mouth from time to time.
After eating for a long time, I can't finish it...
Let's just take some to cook today...
The sweetness of plums,
The aroma of star anise,
Served with rock sugar and soy sauce,
Simmer slowly for an hour,
No need to cook,
The kitchen is full of attractive smells. "

Plum Xiang Trotter

1. Soak the plum in a small amount of boiling water for half an hour; cut the red pepper in half (remove the seeds if you are afraid of hotness), wash and drain the water; slice ginger and smash the garlic for use;

2. After removing the hair on the pig's feet, chop it into small pieces, wash and drain the water for later use;

3. Bring water to a boil in a pot, blanch the trotters and remove the water to drain;

4. Then rinse it again with clean water to remove a small amount of foam on the trotters;

5. Put in a saucepan (or braising pot, pressure cooker), add the braised pig's trotters, chili, ginger slices, soaked plum (the water for soaked plum is also added) and all seasonings;

6. After the high heat is boiled, turn to low heat, cover and simmer for about 40 minutes until the trotters are cooked and tender.

Tips:
1. The trotters must be completely chopped into pieces in the store. The supermarket was too sloppy, so I chopped half and half for me, and I came back and continued to process until I wanted to cry~~~%>_ 2. You can choose the flavors you like, such as nine-made plum, perilla plum, etc., and make plum in advance. Soak, do not pour out the water for soaking the plum, and pour it into the pot together, so that the flavor will be more intense;
3. The pig's trotters are blanched in water in advance to remove the foam, and the soup will be cleaner when it is simmered;
4. I use a cast iron saucepan. You can use the existing pots at home, such as braising pot, pressure cooker, casserole, etc., to adjust the stewing time according to the nature of the pot and the softness of your favorite pig's feet;
5. The above seasonings are personal taste preferences, you can adjust them according to your own salty and light preferences.
