Braised pork trotters with kelp and peanuts
Overview
This pot of pig's trotters is paired with kelp and peanuts, which are nutritious and warming ingredients suitable for winter. It is said that the rich collagen protein of pig's trotters can beautify the skin, remove wrinkles, and effectively delay skin aging; the rich iodine content of kelp can make hair black and shiny, and can also prevent and treat breast diseases; peanuts also have the effects of nourishing blood and lowering blood pressure and lipids. I throw in a few more jujubes to add a flavor and add a little more decoration, making the taste richer and the nutrition more comprehensive and balanced.
