If you take a bite in Guiyang Qingyan Ancient Town
Soft glutinous sweet green rock pig's foot (yuan hoof)
You're going to shout "Ease"!
Because
It's so cool!
Zhao Yijiong: So hungry, go out to find something to eat and come back to continue learning.
Zhao Yijiong: Boss, come two plates of pig's trotters.
Boss: Yo, Young Master Hexi!
Zhao Yijiong: Where is the joy?
Boss: Young master, you have eaten this pig's foot, you will be able to get the title of the gold list! The "hoof" of the pig's trotter is homophonous with the "title" of the title, ah, good omen, good omen!
Zhao Yijiong: Hahahahaha, thank you boss, the gold list title will be specially thanked!
Narrator: Soon after, Zhao Yijiong went to Beijing to take the exam, and it was really the title of the gold list, and he was a high school champion. When returning home to worship the ancestors, thank the stall owner with a heavy gift. Since then, the brine pig's foot has been known as the "Yuanyuan Hoof", which has become a famous food in the Zhao Province, and has been passed down from generation to generation by the family chef and has been extended to the present day. Since then, Qingyan's brine pig's foot has been renamed "Yuanyuan Hoof" and has become a famous food in Guiyang Qingyan.
Today's "yuanheel" is slightly different from the past in terms of practice, but it is better in taste. When making "Yuanyuan Hoof", the hoof is generally boiled in water, then boiled with eighteen Chinese herbs, and then simmered over low heat, which takes about four hours.
It is worth mentioning that the boiling hooves must use an iron pot, because the iron pot can absorb the water generated during the cooking process, in addition, the fat in the hooves can be steamed out, so that the burned hooves can be eaten without greasy, crisp and not rotten.
In addition, the deboning is also very exquisite, first from the two long bones that run through the entire pig's trotter, a thin bone is gently withdrawn, and then the bone is used as a knife to cut it open. Interestingly, this bone is known as the "Blade of the Blade".
The finished "Yuanyuan Hoof" is bright red in color and overflowing with aroma, and when eaten in the mouth, it is soft and sweet, fat but not greasy, wonderful, and makes people feel endlessly evocative. "Yuanyuan Hoof" is not only delicious and delicious, but also rich in collagen, the fat content is lower than the average fat meat, and it can also prevent the skin from drying out and wrinkles, and enhance the elasticity and toughness of the skin. The mouth of the pig's trotter is fat but not greasy, the sticky aroma is moist, the sour and spicy taste is beautiful...
