I like to sit around the stove at home in this cold season. I think it's the happiest thing in winter to have a hot pot at the next table or a pig's hoof cooked by my mother. My mother also cooks pig's hooves once every half a month every winter. I don't know why. Even when I was a child, even if my mother burned them again, I didn't dare to touch the fat, greasy and sticky things. At most, I took my chopsticks and dipped them in soy sauce. What flavor are chopsticks? I just thought they were salty and salty. My mouth didn't feel so good. With them, I gradually lost the taste. My mother will always tell me - & quot; baby. It can make our little face smooth in winter. It's also slippery. You can see how painful my mother's hand is when it breaks in winter. &When you gradually accept a truth that you can't refute, you will break all your insistence. Habit is a subtle compromise. Ha ha. I didn't know my mother was a little boastful until I grew up

Cooking tips:1. Try to use rock candy for stewing pig's hoof. Rock candy will make the finished pig's hoof red and bright. In order to soften the finished product, put the sauce one hour before it is soft and tender without salt. Put the salt in the last half hour. Salt is easy to make the protein coagulate and not easy to rot. Pepper is not easy to get out. It can be wrapped with gauze or packed with seasoning. I found that there was no wrapped cloth at home after cooking pig's hooves. Control the fire. When stewing, it must be a minimum fire. A small fire is the key to ensure that the pig's hoof is soft and tender. A big fire will spoil the pig's hoof. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
