How to make white kidney beans the best to eat, below I will share a delicious white kidney bean pig's trotter soup. White kidney bean and pig's trotter soup is a warm and affectionate delicacy, and its preparation process requires meticulous preparation and rigorous steps. Here's how you make this soup.
Before starting cooking, we need to prepare the following ingredients: a fresh pig's trotter, 80 grams of white kidney beans, 50 grams of kelp, three shallots, a piece of ginger, and a moderate amount of salt. At the same time, we need a casserole to cook the soup.
First, cut the dried kelp into small pieces and soak it in water. If you use fresh kelp, you also need to soak it in advance to avoid the whole soup from being too salty. At the same time, rinse the white kidney beans with water and add water to soak.
Next, handle the trotters. After the pig's trotters are cleaned, cut into pieces, then put cold water into the pot, add cooking wine and ginger slices, and blanch the water over high heat for about 5 minutes to force out the dirty blood in the pig's trotters. After blanching, you need to skim off the foam and remove the trotters for later use.
Add enough water to the casserole, and add the blanched pig's trotters when the water boils. Pig's trotter soup slow-cooked in a casserole takes about 2 hours. During this process, it is important to remember to add enough water at once, and remember that adding water halfway through will affect the taste of the soup.
Then, add the soaked white kidney beans, sliced ginger and shallots, and simmer over high heat for half an hour. After half an hour, remove the shallot knots, then turn to low heat and simmer for an hour. Shallot knots can not only further help remove the fishy smell and aroma of the pig's trotters, but also absorb the little foam spit out by the pig's trotters during the simmering process.
Next, add the soaked kombu and continue to simmer for half an hour. Before removing from the pan, add an appropriate amount of salt to taste, and sprinkle with a little chopped green onion. It is important to note that because kombu itself has a salty taste, be sure to taste the flavor of the soup before adding the right amount of salt.
This is a delicious white kidney bean and pig's trotter soup. While enjoying this soup, you can also feel the warmth of home and the taste of family.
