[Sichuan] Raked Pea and Hoof Flower Soup
Overview
I remember that when Tian Lanlan first came to C City ten years ago, she had peas and hoof flower soup at a friend's house, and she will never forget the taste. I have also learned to make it many times. The peas are soft and glutinous, and the hoof flowers are fat but not greasy. The soup is particularly delicious because the bean paste with peas makes the soup very thick. It is indeed a soup suitable for winter, nourishing and delicious. This dish is also very suitable for the Chinese New Year, because pig’s trotters are meant to attract wealth. I wish all my food-loving friends a happy New Year and lots of wealth, haha.
