How to make peanut and pig trotters stew

Step 1

First, read the recipe table and video to prepare the required materials!

Step 2

We asked the enthusiastic stall owner to chop the big pig's trotters, put them in a pot with cold water, add two slices of ginger and a little cooking wine.

Step 3

Boil the water and cook for one minute, then take the pig's feet and wash them.

Step 4

In the second step, we stir-fry the sugar color (shai), heat the pan with oil, then add the rock sugar, stir-fry over medium-low heat, and stir constantly throughout the process.

Step 5

Fry until you can smell the caramel and watch it change from big bubbles to small bubbles.

Step 6

Then quickly pour in the pig's feet we just processed

Step 7

Remember to stir-fry quickly and evenly

Step 8

After stir-frying evenly, you can see that the pig's feet are colored, and the color will turn into brownish red. Then add drinking water to cover the pig’s feet

Step 9

Next, start seasoning, add light soy sauce, edible salt, rock sugar, bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon, prunes, ginger slices, peanuts, stir a little

Step 10

Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium heat and simmer for 1 and a half hours. If there is not enough water in the middle, you can add hot water and continue simmering. (It’s best to soak peanuts in water for a few hours first. I soaked mine in advance. Soaked peanuts are more flavorful and easier to rot.)

Step 11

When the time is up, you can take it out of the pot and plate it.

Step 12

The method of coloring fried sugar is better than using dark soy sauce, because the fried sugar color will be more rosy, but if you don’t know how to fry sugar color, you can use dark soy sauce instead. If it is simmered for one and a half hours, it is considered to be medium soft. If it is eaten by the elderly, it is best to simmer it for about 2 hours! If the water is not enough in the middle, you can continue to heat the water and cook it. Do not add cold water!
