Cooking tips 1. This pig's trotter uses sugar color, which has a very special caramel flavor. If you use rock sugar directly, it will also work, but the taste will be a little different. 2. If you don't like marinade, you don't need the marinade bag. Sometimes I don't use the marinade bag, and the original flavor of the pig's trotter is actually very delicious. 3. For your health, it is kindly suggested that people with three highs try not to eat it.
