This dish is quite a beauty food. Let's not say the effect of red dates. Just the collagen of pig's hoof is quite rich. It's an excellent beauty food. Most of them are not so rotten. Some are more exaggerated. The meat is still tight. I prefer a less demanding diet (except for a few times). We stew the pig's hands until they are boneless. We don't need to tear them up. Moreover, the meat surface will not be tight and affect the taste. It's not hard to get rid of the bone. I only boil for 2 hours to get rid of the bone. And on the basis of the bone removal, the meat of pig's hoof won't be broken. It's still a whole piece. That's the taste. I'm still swallowing while writing. It's better to eat like this. It's not good to support the host when he has finished eating.
