Detailed Steps for Cooking Scented Perilla Steamed Pig Trotters
Prepare one pig trotter. Clean and chop into small pieces (try to chop into smaller pieces).
Blanch the trotter, then rinse and set aside.
Prepare ginger shreds, garlic seeds, red shallots, and slice the perilla leaves into thin strips (use plenty of perilla leaves as they shrink when steamed).
Add all ingredients, along with a suitable amount of salt, oil, rice wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, and oyster sauce. Mix well and marinate for about 30 minutes.
Bring water to a boil in a pot, then steam the trotter for about 40-50 minutes.
Your delicious Scented Perilla Steamed Pig Trotters are ready to be served.
