How to stew pig's trotters

1. Wash the pig's trotters with water. If there are scattered pig hairs, remove them. Then pour cold water into the pot, put the pig's trotters into the pot, add a little cooking wine, add a few slices of green onion and ginger, and cook until the trotters are bubbling to remove the fishy smell of the trotters.

2. Add a little oil, then add white sugar or rock sugar into the pot and stir-fry over low heat.

3. After the sugar melts and turns into syrup color, continue to stir-fry, being careful not to get mushy.

4. When bubbles appear, and the bubbles are very dense, it is done.

5. Wipe the pig's trotter dry with kitchen paper, then pour in the trotter and stir-fry until the sugar color is coated on the trotter.

6. Pour the onion, ginger, garlic, aniseed, bay leaves, cinnamon, sugar, salt and light soy sauce into the pot and stir-fry for a few times.

7. Then put it into the pressure cooker, pour in some hot water and start stewing. It is best to use the pork trotter mode when stewing in an electric pressure cooker, as it will be more tender than the stew mode. If you want it to be a little chewy, you can also use the stew mode.
