Exclusive Braised Pig Trotters with Soybeans and Peanuts

Exclusive Braised Pig Trotters with Soybeans and Peanuts

Pig trotters are singed, blanched, then braised with soybeans and peanuts until the collagen-rich sauce turns glossy and the meat fork-tender and sticky.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Go to the market to buy fresh pig trotters and ask the seller to cut them into larger pieces. Blanch the skin of the pig trotters. This will make the texture richer later. Then put them into a pot of cold water. Add a little cooking wine. After the water boils, cook for five minutes and remove to drain the blood.

    Add a little bit of oil to the pot. We sauté the star anise and ginger slices until fragrant.

    We need to soak these soybeans in clean water for two hours in advance.

    We transfer the pig trotters into the clay pot, pour in enough water to cover the pig trotters, and bring it to a boil over high heat.
