Tips: The fat on the skin of the pig trotter must be scraped clean, otherwise the dish will have an unpleasant odor.
Steps:
(1) Clean the pig trotter and blanch it in boiling water to remove impurities. Then, add water, cooking wine, soy sauce, sugar, and salt to the pot. Add the pig trotter, scallion segments, and ginger slices, bring to a boil, and cook until tender. Remove the trotter, score it with crosshatch cuts, place it in a container, and add 200g of the cooking liquid.
(2) Place the trotter in a steamer and steam over high heat for about 1.5 hours until tender. Remove the trotter and drain the liquid into a clean pot. Heat peanut oil in the pot, add the spinach cut into segments, and stir-fry until tender. Serve the spinach on a plate, then place the trotter on top of the spinach segments.
(3) Bring the cooking liquid to a boil, add MSG, and thicken it with cornstarch. Pour the sauce over the trotter and spinach segments on the plate to complete the dish.
