tie hoof
My mother made this dish creatively when we were young. Because my mother was working in a tofu shop at that time and knew how to bundle vegetarian chickens, she creatively tied them with pig's trotters and gave them to us to eat, so that another dish was added to my family's table. My mother is old, so I learned it from my mother since I was a child, and this has become a traditional dish in my family. Now I basically cook the traditional dishes in our family, like salted duck, fried pork and so on.

    I didn't take pictures of the bundled hoof because I was alone at home and couldn't take pictures. I just used a square cloth, pointed the corners towards me, put the marinated meat on it and hugged it tightly, and then tied it up with cotton rope.

    Boil and cool the used salt water and keep it for the next time you make stewed vegetables. As time goes on, more and more gather, which is the folk legend of old stewed.

    Put the prepared bundled hoof in the pan and cook it, add ginger and onions. After the fire started, it was cooked on low heat, and it was basically cooked after an hour and a half. Hehe, I cooked four because my family likes to eat them very much. My parents have one and my brother have one.
