Exercise:
1. After washing the trotters, clean the hair on the surface and cut it in half. In this step, you can ask the stall owner in the vegetable market to help you, otherwise it is difficult for our family to chop pig's trotters with ordinary knives.
2. Soak peanuts and soybeans in cold water 15 minutes. Put the pig's trotters into the soup pot, add cold water to the water surface about 5 cm, boil the water with strong fire, and skim off the floating foam on the surface;
3. Turn to low heat, or pour pig's trotters into an electronic soup pot. Add onion, ginger, star anise, tsaoko, pepper and other seasonings, cover with stew 1 hour;
4. After the soup gradually thickens and turns white, pour in peanuts, soybeans and soaked water, and continue to stew for half an hour.
5. Add red dates after the soybeans are crisp and rotten, and continue to simmer for 20-30 minutes.
Ps: Pig's trotters are rich in collagen, which is very important for girls who love beauty. Peanuts, soybeans and red dates are also added to this soup, which is very nutritious and can whiten our skin and increase its elasticity. Peanuts and dates can enhance blood color and air. Eat this soup often, and you can go out beautifully without makeup!
You can buy trotters in supermarkets or vegetable markets. They are very common, so it's best to buy fresh ones instead of frozen ones. The stew smells of fish. It is difficult for our family to cut pig's trotters with a knife, so it is safer to ask the stall owner for help in this step. If the pig's trotters bought home have a lot of hair, they need to be carefully removed, or baked on the fire, which is easy to remove;
Put the pig's trotters in a pot with cold water, and the floating foam must be removed. Finally, the stewed soup is milky white in color and the meat is particularly crisp and rotten. Peanuts and soybeans are easier to cook if they are soaked in advance. If the soaked water is clean, you can pour them into the soup and cook them together, which will taste better.
Spices such as Amomum tsaoko and star anise can remove the fishy smell very well, so don't add cooking wine to the soup, and the amount of spices should not be too much. Cooked pig's trotters soup can be eaten hot, peanuts, and finally pig's trotters dipped in soy sauce, which is very distinctive!
