This year's Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is linked to the National Day, from September 29 to October 6, a rare 8-day long holiday. Some friends plan to travel, and some friends plan to go back to their hometown to visit their parents. As a native of Guilin, I don't want to go out and add congestion, and this holiday, I plan to get together with relatives and friends. There is a saying that "a family banquet is the highest treatment for a person". In our place, small gatherings of friends with good relationships are usually invited to eat at home, which is more atmospheric than going to the restaurant.
Family banquet dinner, naturally some hard dishes are indispensable. In the south, chicken, braised pork, braised elbow, white seared shrimp, etc., are all relatively common hard dishes. My family's family banquet, the most done is the green plum pig's trotters, the wine-stained green plum sweet and sour, stewed with the front hooves of the pig until soft and glutinous, appetizing and greasy, better than braised pork. Today, I will share with you the method of plum pig's trotters, the ingredients to be prepared are: half a pig's front hooves, 5 wine-pickled plums, 40ml of green plum wine, 3 spoons of light soy sauce, 3 spoons of braised soy sauce, 1 star anise, a small piece of cinnamon, 1 piece of ginger, and an appropriate amount of cooking wine.
Wash the trotters and chop them into 5 cm pieces. In our case, buying trotters allows the butcher to cut the boned part of the trotter and go home and change it into small pieces. To make plum pig's trotters, it is best to use pig front hooves, the meat is firm, less fat is more delicious.
Cut one wine-stained plum into 3-4 pieces. Green plums soaked in low-alcohol liquor can also be eaten as a snack. If there is no sake pickled plum, you can use nine made plums or licorice plums instead.
Put the trotters into the pot, add the water without the trotters, pour in cooking wine, add a part of the peeled ginger shreds, heat over medium heat, boil the trotters for another 5 minutes, take them out and clean the foam and impurities.
Put the cleaned pig's trotters into the electric pressure cooker, add the other half of shredded ginger, star anise, cinnamon, light soy sauce, teriyaki soy sauce, wine pickled plum and plum wine, add a small half bowl of water, bring the pot up a few times, let the ingredients and seasonings mix simply. The taste of cinnamon is relatively heavy, don't put too much, about the size of a mineral water bottle cap can be.
Choose the simmering program of the electric pressure cooker, which takes about 25 minutes. Different brands of electric pressure cookers have slightly different cooking times, it is recommended to flexibly adjust the time according to your own pots.
After 25 minutes, the plum pig's trotters are stewed until soft and sticky, and it is delicious to look at. Put the plum trotters in a bowl, sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve. Don't throw out the soup in the pot, put a little into it when stir-frying, and make it fresh. It is also good for mixing rice or noodles.
Mid-Autumn Festival National Day banquet guests, my family is indispensable to this hard dish, appetizing and greasy, better than braised pork. Pig's trotters are rich in collagen, which is especially suitable for women.
