Steps

  1. Use of five tools: The workload of the pig's trotters is all in the initial treatment of the pig's trotters. The pig's trotters are divided into half and the butcher cuts the pig's trotters in half. This saves the butcher's trouble, but the pig's trotters are not easy to taste. To complete the preliminary treatment of pig's trotters, you need to have the following five tools at home. They are: razor, small kitchen knife, tweezers, meat knife, machete

  2. Shaving knife: After washing the pig's trotters, use it to scrape off the hair on the surface of the pig's trotters.

  3. Small kitchen knife: remove debris from the toes of pig trotters.

  4. Tweezers: After blanching the pig's trotters, there will still be residual pig hairs on the skin. The soft pig hairs cannot be removed with a razor, so tweezers are required.

  5. Meat knife: Use the toe seam of the pig's trotter to slice it open from the middle. A machete is not easy to use for cutting meat. Until the piece stops moving and encounters the bone, it is then handed over to the machete.

  6. Machete: Use a machete to cut off the bones at the root of the pig's trotters.

  7. Machete: Use a machete to cut off the bones at the root of the pig's trotters.

  8. The toe tips of pig trotters should be removed

  9. The pig's trotters should be decomposed scientifically. They should be chopped at the joints and along the gaps with a machete

  10. A pig's trotter can be broken down into three sections

  11. The first rule of thumb for stewed pig's trotters: the cleaned pig's trotters must be blanched in a pot of boiling water!

  12. When people blanch pork belly, they usually blanch it in cold water, but pig trotters cannot be blanched in cold water. Boiling water can make the "bone and skin" of pig's trotters firmer and less likely to rot when stewing. Put the green onion and ginger cubes in the water and blanch them for about 2 minutes.

  13. Remove and drain. Use tweezers to pick the pig hair again.

  14. The second rule of thumb for stewing pig's trotters: the pig's trotters must be deep-fried for 3 minutes! Fried pig's trotters further shape the pig's trotters to ensure they are soft and tender but not soft when simmered for a long time. After blanching the pig's trotters, use clean water, add cooking wine and light soy sauce and marinate for 10 minutes. Note: Don’t use too much light soy sauce, otherwise the fried pig’s trotters will turn black. After pickling, the water of the pig's trotters must be controlled before being put into the oil pan to avoid splashing. Add oil to the pot. When it is 70% hot, add the pig's trotters and fry over medium-low heat for 3 minutes.

  15. The third rule of thumb for stewed pig's trotters: only add soy sauce and no salt for tenderness!

  16. Fry the sugar color, put a little oil in the pot, wait until the sugar melts and red bubbles appear, then put the pig's trotters into the pot

  17. For every 500 grams of pig's trotters, put one tablespoon of sugar. When the sugar in the pot is smoking, pour in the pig's trotters and stir-fry quickly.

  18. Then pour in light soy sauce, add three tablespoons of light soy sauce for every 500 grams of pig's trotters, and stir well. Then add cooking wine, star anise, peppercorn packets, and chicken essence in sequence. Be sure to add boiling water to cover the pig's trotters. Once the fire is on, turn to low heat. Cover and simmer for 3 hours.

  19. After 3 hours, pick out the pig's trotters and put them in a container, thicken the remaining juice with sesame oil and pour it on the pig's trotters.
