A hearty and nutritious home-style stew, this dish combines pig’s trotters (feet) with dried yellow soybeans. The trotters are rich in collagen, while the soybeans provide plant-based protein and a nutty flavor. The ingredients are slowly simmered for hours with ginger, scallions, and a light soy-based seasoning until the trotters become unbelievably tender, the collagen melts into the broth making it slightly viscous, and the soybeans soften completely. The broth is the highlight—milky, rich, and deeply savory, with a wholesome, comforting flavor. The texture of the meltingly soft trotters and creamy beans is incredibly satisfying. It is a dish often prepared in winter for its warming properties and is believed to be beneficial for the skin and joints due to its high gelatin content.
