    After boiling the sugar color, pour in the pig's feet, star anise, and cinnamon, and turn over high heat and start frying. You can see the sugar color on the pig's feet, like soy sauce; stir for about 5 minutes, add rice wine, and add appropriate amount of soy sauce to make the finished product. The color is stronger and brighter.

    Add water, add a small spoonful of salt and a little mushroom essence, transfer to the pressure cooker, exhaust and press for 10-15 minutes. I use an electric pressure cooker, select the "Meat/Ribs" function button, and wait for it to "tick" It called me! (Because of taking pictures, a small part of the pig's trotters was a little burnt when it exploded).

    After pressing the pork's feet in the pressure cooker, return to the pan to collect the juice on high heat. When the soup begins to thicken, stir fry with a shovel and keep the soup evenly wrapped on each piece of meat until the color deepens and the soup thickens and removes the oil. (This step is very critical!)

    For this dish to be delicious, you must cook it until the gelatin from the pork trotters is released. Also, did you notice that I used very few spices? So, how do we handle the gamey smell? Hehe, don't worry, star anise, cinnamon, and rice wine are sufficient to take on this task. For us housewives cooking at home, if we can achieve great taste with fewer ingredients, that is naturally the best! Right?
