Prepare a delightful squirrel leg imitation for the whole family on the weekend, dear homemakers. This dish is not only aromatic but also nutrient-rich. Here's the recipe for crafting imitation squirrel legs that you can refer to
Ingredients
-Pork trotters: it's advisable to purchase the front legs
-Galangal (1 bulb), lemongrass (about 12 stalks), kaffir lime leaves (or orange leaves can also be used), spicy chili
-Seasonings: fish sauce, monosodium glutamate, sugar, salt, spicy chili, honey (especially sugarcane honey for enhanced flavor)
Instructions:
Step 1: When buying pork trotters, they should be blanched first. This step plays a crucial role as it makes the dish crispy, tender, and odor-free. To blanch the pork trotters, you can use rice husks, sugarcane residue, or newspaper; the skin will become crispy (avoid blanching on a gas stove). The pork trotters need to be blanched until golden brown.
Step 2: The accompanying ingredient is jicama, cut into pieces using the thumb and then thoroughly boiled with water and a pinch of salt at least 3 times before processing.
Step 3: After burning, the pork trotters will be cleaned, meat separated, and then chopped into bite-sized pieces.
Galangal and lemongrass, along with spicy chili, should also be thoroughly washed and finely chopped. Kaffir lime leaves need to be cleaned and shredded.
Marinate the meat with galangal, lemongrass, monosodium glutamate, seasoning powder, fish sauce, shrimp sauce, and honey according to individual taste. To quickly tenderize the meat, add a bit of white wine, mix well, and marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 4: Next, place the meat in a pot, stir until the meat firms up, then add water and simmer. While sautéing, add a teaspoon of turmeric powder to enhance the golden color of your imitation squirrel dish!
Step 5: After stir-frying until the pork trotters are slightly firm, add the thoroughly boiled jicama and stir to let it absorb the flavors.
Step 6: Simmer until the meat is tender, the bones are soft, and the dish has a distinctive aroma.
Step 7: Finally, scoop the drumstick onto a plate and enjoy it with steamed rice or noodles. It will be a delightful dish.
A quick tip for preparing this nutritious meal is to ensure you marinate it in the right proportions and cook the drumstick to perfection.
