In addition to the participation of nitrate, the pig's trotters can be made like jelly, thanks to the large amount of gum in the pig's trotters. To make crystal trotters, the deboned and marinated pig's trotters are slowly simmered over low heat, and then pressed with heavy objects overnight. The crispy hoof and broth merge with each other under the matchmaking of gum. The next day, it is cut and put on the plate, smelling a light fragrance, eating slippery and cool, no wonder a Zhenjiang poet wrote a poem for it - not greasy, slightly crispy and fragrant, red and tender frozen crystal dishes.
