How to make Sichuan style pig's trotter soup

Many people are the only child in their families, and they grow up under the protection of their parents. After becoming adults and leaving the care of their parents, many of them no longer know how to eat because there is no one to cook for them. Faced with such a reality, you definitely don't want to starve to death, so you have to do it yourself. Now, I will teach you how to make Sichuan-style pig's trotter soup.

1. Soak the white kidney beans half a day in advance and let them fully swell. Chop the garlic, cut the green onion into chopped pieces, and slice the ginger.

2. Chop a pig's trotter into pieces, soak it in clean water for a while, and wash it.

3. Add clean water, 4 bay leaves, 2 slices of ginger, and 1 spoon of white wine to the pot and bring to a boil. Blanch the pig's trotters in water for 5 minutes, remove and rinse clean.

4. Put the pig's trotters into the casserole and add water until full. Bring to a boil over high heat, add 2 slices of ginger and 1 spoon of white wine, then simmer over low heat. When the soup turns slightly white, pour in the kidney beans, add boiling water and continue stewing. When the pig's trotters are soft and rotten (about 2 and a half hours), add salt to taste and turn off the heat.

5. Add half a spoon of chili oil, 2 spoons of vinegar, 1 spoon of light soy sauce, a small amount of sugar, minced garlic, and cooked sesame seeds to make the sauce.

6. Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.

7. [Chili Oil] Put chili powder, cooked white sesame seeds, a small amount of salt, sugar and a small amount of water in a bowl and mix well. Heat the vegetable oil until it smokes, turn off the heat and let it cool slightly, then pour it all into a bowl, add a few drops of balsamic vinegar, and let it cool after all the bubbles disappear. Filter out the red oil on the top and store it in a dry glass bottle in the refrigerator. Oil: chili powder = 2:1 oil: water = 10:1. Add oil, chili and vinegar to make a sauce, which is suitable for dipping or mixing with noodles.
