Chapter 215: Eight Ways to Eat Pig's Trotters
Pig's trotters are also called yuanti.
In ancient China, pig's trotters were one of the parts of the animal that was often cooked and eaten.
Pig's trotters are rich in collagen protein, which can prevent skin from drying out and wrinkling, and enhance skin elasticity and toughness. They were once regarded as a beauty product by women.
When she went to the mortal world to play before, Ye Jiaojiao especially liked to buy roasted pig's trotters to eat.
When I have a good appetite, I can eat eight roasted pig's trotters in one go.
Ye Jiaojiao found eight ways to cook pig's trotters from the recipe library provided by the system and prepared to try them out.
First, she planned to make a classic braised pork trotter.
The method of braised pig's trotters is not difficult. Before making it, Ye Jiaojiao printed out the recipe directly. The ingredients needed include pig's trotters, peanuts, pork ribs marinade and coriander, as well as MSG, rock sugar, soy sauce, etc.
The tasks of removing the hair, washing, and cutting the pig's trotters with a knife are all done by robots. After cutting the pig's trotters into pieces, they are first scalded with water and then the sauce is prepared. After the trotters are marinated, peanuts and spices are cooked over high heat.
The braised pig's trotters are brightly colored when they come out of the pot, retaining the most original flavor of the pig's trotters. Finally, sprinkle a little coriander on the surface. The golden pig's trotters are paired with green coriander. Once placed on the table, the fragrance quickly spreads.
After Ye Jiaojiao turned off the fire, Jack came over with five soldiers.
They used this plate as a sample.
After Ye Jiaojiao picked up her chopsticks, Jack and others also put down their chopsticks.
"Hmm, it's quite chewy." The time spent on braised pig's trotters is mainly on the step of sauce-making. The cooking time is not long, and the meat and tendons are quite chewy. Ye Jiaojiao took a bite and thought it was pretty good.
"It's delicious." It was so delicious that Jack couldn't help but take two more bites. He shared the rest with the five soldiers. After they finished eating, their eyes lit up: "Ms. Ye, the food you cook is really delicious!"
Ye Jiaojiao: "As long as you like it, shall we continue?"
Jack and others: "Okay!"
Ye Jiaojiao enters a very focused state when cooking.
I can't quite spare the attention to explain.
Before starting each meal, she would print out the recipe and explain it to Jack and the others, and when cooking, she would try to slow down her movements so that they could see clearly.
As for the rest, Ye Jiaojiao is not an experienced chef, and sometimes she is not as good as Jack in some cooking skills, so she did not show off her skills.
For the second dish, Ye Jiaojiao chose braised pork trotters.
The difference between braised pig's trotters and stewed pig's trotters is that braised pig's trotters use rock sugar, which makes the pig's trotters more tender and tastes sweeter and softer.
Pour sesame oil and rock sugar into the pot. When the soup gradually turns light red, you can add pig's trotters, followed by cooking wine, green onions, ginger, salt, and peppercorns. After the soup boils, remove the floating foam and cook over high heat until the pig's trotters are colored. Then switch to low heat and simmer until the sauce is thick.
The third dish is pork trotter and soybean soup.
The fourth dish is spicy and sour pork tendon.
The fifth dish is pork trotters with vinegar and ginger.
The dish of vinegar and ginger pig's trotters is a bit special. It requires a lot of ginger and also adds rock sugar. It is a dish that tastes both spicy and sweet.
Ye Jiaojiao had never eaten it before, and was a little unsure about how to add the seasoning, so she made a small portion first and took Jack and others to taste it first.
"It's indeed sweet and spicy, a rare taste." Jack took the first bite and nodded slowly, adapting well to the taste.
Some people like it, and naturally some people don't like it.
A soldier who came to learn from me tasted the vinegar and ginger pig's trotter and sipped it carefully: "Maybe I'm not used to this flavor. It doesn't taste as good as the braised pig's trotter I had before. If it were just sweet, it would be fine."
"Then maybe you are not used to eating ginger." Ye Jiaojiao thought for a while and asked the soldier to pick up a piece of ginger and smell it. Sure enough, the soldier immediately covered his nose.
Jack smiled at this and came up with an idea: "Different flavors are actually just right. Miss Ye specially prepared so many different flavors. We can put up a small sign to mark them and let everyone choose for themselves."
"Okay." Ye Jiaojiao nodded, thinking it was feasible.
Finally, three more delicacies based on pig’s trotters were served one after another.
Golden and soft pig's trotter skin jelly, salty and spicy fermented bean curd braised pig's trotter, and a dish of beer-braised pig's trotter.
All of them received unanimous praise from everyone.

In the conference room.
Si Ming absentmindedly looked down at his computer.
At the head, Lieutenant General Edwin of the Fifth Army glared in Si Ming's direction with a dark face. The person being glared at not only did not react, but instead glanced at the computer. Edwin immediately became angry: "Si Ming!"
"What's the matter?" Si Ming asked calmly when he was called out in public. Edwin was immediately irritated by the brat's nonchalant attitude and laughed in anger: "What's the matter? You're the one who's in trouble, right?"
Edwin was already furious, and his words were meant to mock Si Ming's distraction. However, he hadn't expected Si Ming to be so shameless. He actually stood up and started packing his things as he said. "Yes, I do have something important to do later. If the Lieutenant General is alright, I'll leave first."
"???" Edwin's eyes suddenly widened. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Si Ming turned around and nodded at him as a sign of respect?
Convex (fuck dish fuck)!
It turns out that all the men in the Si family are of the same character!
My hands are itchy
Too bad I can't beat it.
Si Ming left the table quickly. As Si Ming's personal guard and adjutant, Ning Yuan had to step forward to explain in the face of Lieutenant General Edwin's anger: "Lieutenant General Edwin, the Major General must have something urgent to attend to. Please forgive him."
With General Si Yufeng of the Fifth Army not here, Edwin is currently the highest-ranking officer in the Fifth Army garrison base and the only one who can control Si Ming.
Previously, when Edwin learned that Si Ming had brought a group of people to support a fast food restaurant in the second world, he sent them to the border to carry out the mission.
Now, Si Ming was temporarily transferred back. Edwin always felt that this little brat Si Ming was deliberately going against him today, and he would not listen to any explanation.
He didn't believe a word Ning Yuan said and retorted, "What urgent matter is there at the base right now? Could it be that he's in a hurry to find a wife?"
Ning Yuan: "."QVQ You know the truth but I dare not say it.-
After leaving the meeting, Si Ming went straight to the dining area and found Ye Jiaojiao in the kitchen who had just turned off the fire and put away the pot.
Ye Jiaojiao cooked so many dishes in a row and roasted them in front of the stove for half a day. Beads of sweat were already hanging on her forehead and her face was roasted red.
"Why did you make so much?" Si Ming strode closer, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat from Ye Jiaojiao's forehead. His eyes revealed a look of disapproval as he glanced at the dishes on the table.
"Hehe (#^.^#)~~~" Ye Jiaojiao smiled so hard that her dimples appeared on her face. Si Ming continued to wipe her sweat until Si Ming's face looked better. Then she said, "Ming, you're here so early! Are you hungry?"
"No, we'll eat together later." Si Ming shook his head and glanced at Jack and others implicitly. Jack gestured and silently retreated from the kitchen with several soldiers.
"Okay!" Ye Jiaojiao didn't notice the little movements between Si Ming and Jack. After thinking of something, she pleaded in her eyes: "Ming, can I go outside and take a look later?"
After live streaming for a long time, Ye Jiaojiao developed the habit of reading the barrage and interacting with the audience.
She made a big pig's trotter dinner today, and she was curious to see what expressions the soldiers of the Fifth Army would have after eating the food she made!
Faced with his little wife's plea, Si Ming naturally had no reason to refuse.
Calculating the time, the meal was about to start, so the two of them came to a private room with a great view.
