Braised pork trotters

Overview

Pig's trotters are rich in nutrients and are a home-cooked dish. The most important thing is that they are delicious. They are soft when stewed, so even the elderly with bad teeth can eat them. This is an indispensable dish for my family’s New Year’s Eve dinner. Every time my mother makes it, she stews the whole pig’s trotters without cutting them. When eating, you can tear them apart with your hands. The skin is soft and tender, revealing the tendons. Take one bite and your mouth is full of collagen~ My WeChat public account [Nuanfu Life] Foodies, come and follow me
