50g aniseed 125g fresh ginger

Production process

(1) Remove the hair on the pig's head, clean the ear hair and other debris, and wash it clean. Then dig out the lips, split the pig head, take out the pig brain, soak it in clean water to drain the blood stains, and then soak it in water at 80℃ for 15 to 20 minutes.

(2) Before putting the pig heads into the pot, check the degree of doneness. Put the older ones at the bottom and the younger ones at the top. Then add water and seasoning. First boil it over high heat, then switch to low heat after 1 hour, and cook for a total of 2 to 3 hours, until you can separate the meat and bones by hand. It is very important to control the heat and time. If the fire is too high and the time is too long, the pig head will be overcooked and the yield will be reduced; if the fire is too low and the time is too short, the color, aroma and taste of the product will be poor.

(3) After the pig’s head is out of the pot, remove the bones and the ladder, dig out the eyeballs, and then put the meat back into the original pot to cook. The purpose of re-cooking is to make the pig head meat taste better and to achieve the purpose of disinfection. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
