Dear food explorers, today I would like to reveal to you a mouth-watering wonton – spicy pig's trotters! Imagine that when you bite a pig's trotter in your mouth, the bones fall off instantly, and the meat is spicy and delicious, without being greasy at all. What's even more pleasing is that it's surprisingly easy to make, even for kitchen novices!
First, let's start with fresh pig's trotters. Gently burn the skin of the trotters over a fire to remove fishy smells and impurities. Next, soften the trotters with warm water, wash them thoroughly with a brush, and chop them into pieces of the right size.
Next, put the pig's trotters in cold water, add green onions, ginger and high white wine, and bring to a boil over high heat. During the cooking process, remember to skim off the foam in time to keep the soup clear. When the pig's trotters are cooked until they are seven or eight ripe, we start a new pot and start stir-frying the sugar.
Put an appropriate amount of oil in the pot, add five or six pieces of rock sugar, and stir slowly over low heat until it is red and slightly bubbling. At this point, rinse the trotters with warm water, drain them, pour them into the pan, and quickly stir-fry them to color.
Then, transfer the pig's trotters to a casserole and add a little rice wine to add aroma. In the meantime, prepare some spices, such as star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon and angelica, and pour them into the casserole. Add the seasoning sauce: 1 scoop of light soy sauce, 1 spoon of dark soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of oyster sauce, a pinch of sugar and 1 spoonful of chili paste. Finally, pour in a can of beer and an appropriate amount of boiling water, which should be submerged over the pig's trotters. Once the heat is boiling, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for an hour and a half.
When the time is up, pour the trotters back into the iron pot and add 1 tablespoons of salt to taste. Collect the thick soup on high heat to make the pig's trotters more flavorful. Finally, add the green and red peppers and garlic and stir-fry quickly for more than ten seconds to fully integrate the spicy flavor. Continue to cook for five minutes until the trotters have fully absorbed the essence of the spicy flavor.
Now, the delicious spicy pig's trotters are ready to cook! Every bite is full of collagen, and the sense of happiness it brings is irresistible. Whether it's a home-cooked meal or a meal for friends gatherings, it can bring you a lot of satisfaction and happiness.
