Pork Trotter and Soybean Soup: A Nourishing and Comforting Dish

This pork trotter and soybean soup is rich, flavorful, and packed with collagen. The soybeans soak up the broth’s delicious taste, while the pork trotters become tender and melt-in-your-mouth. A simple homemade soup that rivals restaurant-quality dishes!

Ingredients

Main: 1 pork trotter, 100g soybeans

Accessories: 3 slices of ginger, 1 green onion

Seasoning: 1 tbsp cooking wine, salt to taste

The Secret to a Perfect Soup

Blanching the pork trotters first removes any unwanted odor, while soaking the soybeans in advance helps them soften more easily. Slow simmering is key—low heat ensures the broth turns rich and milky, extracting all the nourishing goodness from the ingredients.

Tips for a More Flavorful Soup

Properly clean the pork trotters: Soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then scrape off any impurities before blanching.

Fully soak the soybeans: At least 3-4 hours, preferably overnight, to make them extra soft and creamy.

Cooking time matters: Simmer for at least 1.5 hours on low heat to allow all the flavors to meld beautifully.

Best Pairings

This soup pairs perfectly with rice, steamed buns, or light side dishes like cucumber salad or stir-fried greens. The tender pork trotters can also be enjoyed with a bit of soy sauce or chili sauce for an extra kick.

Extra Cooking Tips

Add red dates or goji berries for a hint of natural sweetness and extra nourishment.

Always add salt at the end—if added too early, the soybeans may remain tough.

Let the soup sit for 10 minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to blend even better.

A steaming bowl of this pork trotter and soybean soup is the perfect way to warm up and nourish yourself. Give it a try!
