So what's the best duck stew? I made a pot of soup today and stewed it with lotus root and pig's feet.
The duck is fragrant and sweet, the pig's feet are rich in gelatin, the taste of meat, plus the glutinous lotus root, every bite has new ideas, not the same, and then scoop a mouthful of soup, it is extremely delicious, it is really too satisfying. It's so delicious, you try it, it's not good to hit me.
Let's take a look at how to make [Stewed Duck with Lotus Root's Pig's Feet], and I will explain the essentials of making it in more detail in the process.
Ingredients: half a duck, 1 pig's knuckle, 1 lotus root, ginger and shallot
Method:
1. Prepare the ingredients: duck, pig's feet and lotus root.
2. After the duck and pig's feet are cleaned, boil in a pot under cold water and cook for another 1 minute, after boiling the blood, pour out the dirty water, and clean the duck and pig's feet. This process is called blanching, which effectively removes fishy and odorous odors. If there is not a lot of blood, you can shake it in the soup to wash it off.
3. Refill with water, chop the lotus root into large pieces and put it in the pot, add the shallots and ginger, boil for 5 minutes on high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for about an hour. If there is still foam after the soup is boiled, skim it off.
4. Simmer until you can easily puncture it with chopsticks, and the soup is clear and slightly white.
When eating, scoop some soup, then a piece of pig's knuckle, a piece of duck meat, and a few pieces of lotus root, add a little salt to taste, sprinkle some chopped shallots, or coriander. You can also make a dipping sauce to dip the pig's feet and eat it. I used these ingredients for the dip: light soy sauce, sugar, balsamic vinegar, garlic and a little broth.
Cooking skills
1. No matter what soup you cook, don't use spices or salt, just cook the soup.
