【How to make spicy dipping sauce】
Chopped green onion, minced garlic, millet hot rings, dried chili powder, minced and stirred together, boil a spoonful of oil and pour it on top to choke out the fragrance, then add a little chicken essence pepper powder, 2 spoons of light soy sauce, 1 spoon of trotter soup, The amount of soup is well controlled, not too much, and it can be eaten with pork trotters evenly.

Tips:
It is recommended to use the front hoof of the pig for soup and dipping sauce. Generally speaking, the front hoof is called the trotter. It is mostly used for white cut and braised meat. There is relatively more meat, while the back hoof has less meat and larger bones. The soup produced is richer, and the price is cheaper than the front hoof. When you look at the appearance, you will find that the front hooves of pigs usually look more curved, look fatter, and give people the feeling of thick flesh. The pig's hind hoof will look much thinner, and the pig's hind hoof will look straighter. You can go to the market to distinguish it carefully.
