【Soybean stewed pig's trotters】

Do you choose the front or the back hooves when buying pig's trotters?

First of all, you have to determine how you eat, the front hooves are straight, there is more meat and tendons, if you plan to bake, sauce, stew, stew, choose the front hooves; The hind hooves are curved and have more bones than the front hooves, making them suitable for soup.

The soybean stewed pig's trotters are broken down in detail

Ingredients: forehoof, soybeans, rock sugar, cooking wine, beer, Sichuan pepper, ginger, green onion, shallot, light soy sauce, star anise, grass fruit, dried red pepper, tangerine peel.

Here's how:

1. Chop the pig's trotters into small pieces with a knife, or you can buy them and ask the merchant to help you chop them, and then wash the chopped pig's trotters. Prepare cold water in a pot and add the washed pig's trotters, ginger slices, cooking wine and a few peppercorns. After boiling the water, boil for about 8-10 minutes to control the water and remove it, wash off the surface impurities with warm water, and remove the remaining pig hair by the way.

2. Prepare a little oil in the pot, add a few grains of rock sugar and fry until bubbling, and then add the pig's trotters and stir-fry to let the sugar evenly wrap the pig's trotters.

3. Cut the green onion and ginger into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant.

4. Prepare a bowl of boiling water and a can of beer and put it in the pot. Remember to remember: be sure to pour boiling water first, if the beer is put into the pot first, the meat will suddenly be cold and become firm and not easy to stew, and the beer can remove the fishy smell, and it will also have the effect of freshness and tenderness. The amount of water/beer should not exceed the meat, and if you have to add water, you must try not to add water, and if you have to, you must heat the water. At this time, if you forget to soak soybeans like me, you can rinse the soybeans and put them in the pot early. If you soak the soybeans in advance, then pour them into the pot halfway.

5. Take advantage of the time when the pot is boiling water, put in the ingredients (star anise, grass fruit, dried red pepper, tangerine peel) and light soy sauce, after the water boils, turn to low heat and slowly simmer for 1 and a half hours-2 hours, or put it in the pressure cooker for about 30-40 minutes to stew (if you choose a pressure cooker, then add half of the water in front of the meat). I added a few pieces of dried tofu when I stewed for 1 hour, and this one is to your liking.

6. You can easily insert the appropriate amount of salt into the meat with chopsticks, simmer for more than ten minutes, turn to high heat to accept the soup, sprinkle some chopped green onions, and turn off the heat.
