How to make pig's trotter soup white and sticky

1. Stir-fry and then cook. Before stewing the pig's trotter soup, you need to put the pig's trotters into the pot first, stir-fry slowly over low heat until the surface is slightly yellow, and stir-fry the collagen in the pig's trotters. This way, the stewed pig's trotter soup will be white and sticky.

2. When stewing pig's trotters, you must use high heat. If you want the soup to be milky white, the heat cannot be too low. Use high to medium heat. After the soup turns milky white, you can switch to low heat. If you stew it with low heat at the beginning, it will be a clear soup. Note that it is difficult to stew the trotters and auxiliary ingredients together at the beginning. You can only stew the soup first and then stew the auxiliary ingredients together!

3. Add salt at the end. When cooking pig's trotter soup, do not add salt first. After the trotter is cooked, add the appropriate amount of edible salt. The soup will become thicker and whiter as it cooks. In addition, you can add some bean sprouts or kidney beans when stewing pig's trotter soup, which will easily make the trotter white.

How to make pig's trotter soup that is not greasy and delicious

1. Boil the blood and dirt in the pig's trotters before stewing them. Wash the pig's trotters with hot water (boiling water) at the beginning, so that the dirt (wood chips, etc.) on the trotters can be washed off. The trotters that have been scalded once will be harder, which is convenient for cleaning the pig hair and the membrane at the tip of the pig's feet. Soak for a while to soak out the blood. Finally, blanch it again. The whole process can clean up the pig hair, blood, and pig smell. When blanching, you can add some ginger slices or white vinegar to remove some of the greasiness of the pig's trotters.

2. Stir-fry before stewing Before stewing, you can stir-fry the blanched pig's trotters with a little vegetable oil for a while, stir-fry the pig's trotters until they are fragrant and the surface starts to turn yellow, then use the pig's trotters to stew the soup. At this time, the fat on the outer layer of the pig's trotters will be fried out, so when adding the pig's trotters, be careful to keep the oil in the pot, just the pig's trotters. In this way, the stewed pig's trotter soup will not have a lot of oil and taste more delicious.

3. Add some hawthorn. You can add some hawthorn when stewing pig's trotters, because hawthorn contains a certain amount of lipase and hawthorn acid. The lipase in hawthorn can promote fat decomposition; hawthorn acid can increase the activity of protease. In this way, the stewed hawthorn is not only not easy to be greasy, but also easier to be cooked. Generally, 50 grams of hawthorn can be added to 1000 grams of pig's trotters.

Tips for stewing pig's trotters

1. When cooking pig's trotters, we can add 1-2 more cardamoms. Cardamoms have a particularly strong ability to remove the fishy smell of pig's trotters and can also greatly increase the aroma of pig's trotters.

2. It is difficult to stew pig's trotters. Collagen will turn into gelatin after heating, which is not easily absorbed by the human body. Only stewed pig's trotters are soft, delicious and easy to absorb. When stewing pig's trotters, you can add a little vinegar to the soup. Vinegar can not only make the trotters rotten, but also decompose the phosphorus and calcium elements in the colloid of bone cells.

3. If you want the pig's feet to be softer, less greasy, and have a good taste and be easier to remove the bones, you can steam them in a steamer in advance. Before steaming, you can put some ginger slices on the pig's feet, which can also remove the fishy smell. Steam for about 20 minutes to 40 minutes.
