Braised hoof flowers with fragrant paste

Overview

In an era when material conditions were not very rich, pig trotters, pig heads, and pig products were once a great bonus during the New Year. I clearly remember that every year at the end of the year, my mother would be busy for a long time, cooking, braising, stewing... Although she was busy, she was very satisfied. Among them, the favorite food is pig's trotters. Usually my mother will boil them in a big red pot with soy sauce, cool them down and freeze them. Even the soup and soup are cut into pieces and mixed together. It is a delicious dish. Occasionally, to take care of the different tastes of the family, my mother would braise a few white pig's trotters with various spices, tear them into pieces and serve them hot, dip them in minced garlic or chili sauce and nibble slowly. It would be a big dish on New Year's Eve. Nowadays, with abundant materials, pig's trotters seem to be unattractive, but the delicious, soft and plump taste is loved by almost everyone. A few marinated hoof flowers look white in color, but they are actually delicious, fragrant and soft. They have no particularly pungent taste or color and are quite adaptable. In addition to the traditional hot sauce and minced garlic, dipping some soy sauce and horseradish is also a good choice. You can probably taste the sashimi flavor! Try it in one pot, there will always be a taste that suits you——
