【Yantai】Braised pork trotters with soybeans

Overview

The meaning of eating pig's trotters during the Chinese New Year is: if you scratch them at work, you will get promoted and get rich; if you scratch them at school, you will make progress in your studies. I am a typical southerner. Ever since I can remember, my family has always made pig's trotters during the Chinese New Year. And there is something special about choosing pig trotters. Be sure to choose the front hooves, because the front hooves scratch forward and the rear hooves push back. I wish you all more wealth and happiness in the New Year. Pig's trotters are rich in collagen, and soybeans are rich in nutrients. Therefore, soybeans and pig's trotters are sweet and salty in taste. They can nourish blood and breasts, nourish and beautify the skin, replenish qi and neutralize the body, and nourish and moisturize dryness. Long-term consumption can not only enlarge the breasts, but also give a good complexion.
