It is usually served on the table during important festivals or when entertaining important guests. It is a "hard dish" on the table. ~ This cured pig's trotter stewed with kidney beans and kelp soup is salty and fragrant with the unique smokey smell of cypress branches. The skin is tough and the meat is glutinous. It is chewy and not dry. The kidney beans are full of fat, the flour is full of cured fragrance, and the kelp is slippery and wrapped in milky white soup. Every bite is full of the Sichuan and Chongqing style that cannot be dissolved. Even the soup wants to be soaked in rice and finished with a pot~~

  3. 3. Processing the cured pig's trotters: Burn the cured pig's trotters with fire (you can use a household gas stove) until the skin turns white and black. This step will make the pig skin softer and more elastic after stewing. After burning, soak the cured pig's trotters in warm water for more than half an hour, then scrape and clean them with a knife. Then soak them in clean water for another half an hour to effectively remove some of the saltiness of the cured pig's trotters. After that, chop the cured pig's trotters into small pieces (if you don't want to do it yourself, you can take it to the vegetable market and ask the pork seller for help, like me 😂).

  5. Since the cured pig's trotters contain a lot of salt during the cooking process, they need to be deeply cooked together with the hard-to-cook white kidney beans. If you use a pressure cooker, start the timer for 3 minutes after the pressure cooker is exhausted; if you use an ordinary pot, you need to cook for more than 20 minutes. After cooking, pour out the first cooking water because it is too salty.

  8. Pig's trotter soup is a classic snack that can be found everywhere in the streets and alleys of Chengdu. Many shops sell it from early morning to late at night. It is a soothing "late night canteen". It is made with fresh pig's trotters as the main ingredient, paired with white kidney beans or peanuts, and ginger slices and simmered for several hours. The stewed pig's trotters are glutinous and boneless, and they melt in a sip. The kidney bean flour is tasty, and the soup is clear and mellow, with the freshness of the ingredients themselves. You have to imagine the pictures yourself~
  9. Put the soaked white beans and the blanched pig's feet into the pot, add enough water (the water should cover the ingredients), put in ginger slices and scallions, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 1.5 - 2 hours, until the pig's feet and white beans are soft.
  10. Serve the stewed white kidney bean trotters and serve with the prepared soul sauce (to make the soul sauce: take a bowl, add appropriate amount of light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped chili, chopped coriander, a small spoonful of salt and a small spoonful of sugar to enhance the flavor, drizzle with a little sesame oil and chili oil, and stir well). When eating, you can dip the sauce in it according to your personal preference to make the taste richer.
