Braised pig's trotters is a well-known dish in Fujian cuisine. It is a specialty of major local hotels. Pig's trotters are rich in collagen and have a lower fat content than fat meat. People call pig's trotters "beauty food" and "delicious food similar to bear's paw."
Chestnuts are used in this dish, but they are rarely sold in the market now. I replaced them with potatoes. They are soft, glutinous and delicious. This dish is characterized by its ruddy color and shiny oil, exquisite seasoning, soft texture, mellow and pleasant aroma.
