Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Dissolve the purchased pig trotters with water

   

2. 2 Blanch in a pot under cold water

   

3. 3 Boil the water and skim off the foam

   

4. 4 Add ginger and cooking wine and continue cooking for 5 minutes

   

5. 5 Wash with warm water. At this time, remove the hair that has not been cleaned and cut along the slit of the pig's trotters. It is easier to cut

   

6. 6 Put a little oil in the pot

   

7. 7 Stir-fry for a while over low heat, stirring constantly. This step is very important. Stir-frying is to remove the water, so you don’t need too much oil and the heat should not be too high

   

8. 8 To boil the sugar color, I bought small rock sugar in the supermarket. Because there are relatively few pig trotters, I didn’t put much oil. I had to boil it over low heat and stir constantly

   

9. 9 Cook until bubbling

   

10. 10 Add the pig's trotters, stir-fry over high heat until it turns color, then add cooking wine, pour the cooking wine around, stir-fry for a while, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce

    

11. 11 Add boiling water

    

12. 12 Put in the spice bag, I bought it directly in the supermarket without frying, because it will be simmered for a while, so I think it can also absorb the flavor. If you turn on the frying, it will stick to the pig's trotters and affect the taste

    

13. 13 Add ginger slices to remove the smell

    

14. 14 Turn on the pressure cooker. I use the rice steaming button. After the steam is released, it takes 20 minutes. The time is completely sufficient. The result is not too bad. It has a little bit of QQ which is just right

    

15. 15 Turn the wok to high heat to reduce the juice. Add some salt when the juice is reduced
