[Nutritional Benefits of Ingredients] Snow Peas: Also known as white kidney beans, they grow in the snowy plateaus at altitudes of several thousand meters. They are characterized by large grains, white color, delicious taste, fresh soup flavor, delicate and fragrant texture, and rich nutrition. They are excellent for stewing with meat, chicken, or pig trotters. Due to their large size, snow peas are not easy to cook, so they need to be soaked in water beforehand to soften. Pig Trotters: Rich in collagen, and with a lower fat content than fatty meat, they have the effects of beautifying the skin and enhancing the bust. Pig trotters are nutritious and tasty; they are not only a common dish but also an excellent nourishing food. When making pig trotter soup, bring it to a boil over high heat and continue boiling over high heat for 20 minutes to make the soup milky white. [Methods for Removing Odor from Pig Trotters] 1. Blanch the pig trotters by placing them in a pot with cold water; this makes it easier to remove blood water and fishy odors. 2. Adding ginger slices and a tablespoon of cooking wine during blanching can also help remove the odor from the pig trotters. 3. Be careful not to cover the pot when blanching the pig trotters, as this allows the odor to dissipate. [How to More Easily Remove Hair from Pig Trotters] It is easier to remove hair from pig trotters after blanching than before, and the removal can be more thorough. This is because some hairs are beneath the skin before blanching, and they only protrude from the surface after blanching.
