Pig's trotters are divided into front hooves and back hooves, but the taste made after people buy them home is not satisfactory. Actually, you didn't choose the right ingredients.
The activities of pigs are mainly exerted on the front legs and hooves. The muscles of the front hoof are more developed, with tendons, stronger taste and chewiness. Suitable for making braised trotters, braised trotters or roasted trotters. Then there is less hoof meat, more bones and no tendons, which is more suitable for stewing soup with soybeans and corn.
To this end, everyone should choose the right trotters according to the cooking method, and may wish to judge from the following three aspects-
1, look at the reinforcement
It can be seen from the transverse section of the tendon that if it is the front hoof, the tendon is thick due to frequent activities, and if the tendon is small and not obvious, it is the rear hoof.
Step 2 look at the appearance
Pigs often walk with their forelegs, which are curved and their hind legs are straight. When you buy it, the front hoof looks curved and the back hoof looks straight.
3. Look at the size of your toes
Each foot of a pig has four toes, two big toes and two small toes. The toes of the front hoof are a little bigger than the toes of the back legs.
Share with you the common practice of braised pig's trotters-
(1) Burn the hair on the pig's trotters, wash and chop it into small pieces, then blanch and drain;
(2) Stir-fry in oil, add proper amount of Chinese liquor to remove fishy smell, add seasonings and various spices, add boiling water, and stew for 1~2 hours;
(3) When the trotters are cooked until soft and rotten, they can be taken out for eating. Sprinkle chopped green onion to make them more appetizing.
In a word, I like to choose the front hoof with heavy taste and buy the back hoof with soft taste. That's what I shared today. I wonder if it will help you. If it is useful, please pay more attention!
