【Braised pork trotters】
Ingredients: 800 grams of pork trotters, 20 grams of rock sugar, salt, light soy sauce, green onion and ginger, star anise, cinnamon, beer.
Steps:
1. When buying pig's trotters, you must choose the front hooves, the front hooves are relatively shorter than the hind hooves, and the front hooves have more meat and hoof tendons, and the hind hooves have less meat and no hoof tendons.
Ask the seller to help burn the pig's hair with a spray gun, chop it into small pieces, soak it in water and then brush it clean after taking it home.
2. Add water to the pot, blanch the pig's trotters in a pot under cold water, add a circle of cooking wine to the pot to remove the smell, then skim the foam and boil for 3 minutes to take it out.
3. After the pig's trotters are fished out, remember not to rinse them with cold water, many people have made mistakes in this step, resulting in the taste of the pig's trotters being hard and stewed; Be sure to rinse the trotters with warm water and dry them after washing.
4. Add a little oil to the wok to moisten the pan, add 20 grams of rock sugar, turn on high heat to fry the rock sugar, turn to low heat and fry slowly, and fry until dense small bubbles appear and caramel flavor appears.
5. Add the pig's trotters and stir-fry a few times quickly, so that the surface of the pig's trotters is evenly coated with a layer of sugar.
6. Add an appropriate amount of beer, the beer should be covered with pig's trotters, then add green onions, ginger slices, two star anise and a small piece of cinnamon, turn to low heat and simmer for 50 minutes after boiling.
7. After 50 minutes, the pig's trotters are already soft and rotten, at this time, add an appropriate amount of salt and light soy sauce to taste, simmer for another 10 minutes, and finally turn on the high heat to collect the soup and turn off the heat.
1. Stewing pig's trotters with beer can not only make the pig's trotters easier to stew, but also have a faint malt aroma and make them more delicious.
2. When stewing pig's trotters, remember not to put salt too early, putting salt too early will make the protein in the pork coagulate, resulting in pig's trotters are not easy to stew, be sure to wait for the pig's trotters to stew until seven or eight medium cooked before adding salt.
