Time's up! The fragrant, glutinous, and delicious pig trotters are ready! I asked Xiao Ai to remind me of the time exactly, so I don’t miss it. In the meantime, you must check the pot from time to time to see if the water has boiled dry, because the thickness of everyone’s pot material is different! The heating duration will vary, and the amount of ingredients is different, so you need to pay attention to avoid burning the pot!

Sprinkle with chopped green onions and small chili peppers for decoration! Doesn't it look very appetizing? The bright colors attract the eyes! The taste buds are quietly being tempted by the colors too!
