Tips

1. Yam is nutritious, but peeling yam leaves a lot of mucus because the mucus contains a large amount of plant alkaloids, which can irritate and itch the skin when stuck on the hands. You can rub it with edible salt and soak it in hot water to remove the itching sensation. If rubbed in rice washing water, the effect is very good. In addition, you can also apply some vinegar on your hands before peeling, or rub your hands with vinegar after peeling to prevent itching. This is the effect of acid-base neutralization reaction.

2. The peeled and sliced yam should be immediately put into water to ensure that the yam is not oxidized, so that it tastes good. However, do not soak it for too long, as it is prone to contamination and spoilage. In short, eat the sliced yam as soon as possible.

3. When blanching pig trotters, ginger and scallions are added mainly to remove the fishy smell. After blanching, put the pig trotters in cold water to cool them down, which can ensure the texture of the trotters and make them more firm and elastic.

4. Pig trotters contain a lot of fat, so patients with hypertension and cholesterol should consume them in moderation.

5. Do not eat too much yam at once, as it can cause bloating and some individuals may experience allergic reactions. Due to its astringent effect, it should be avoided for people with colds, dry stools, and gastrointestinal stagnation.

6. Adding some white rice vinegar can release more calcium from pig bones.

7. You can add some peanuts to the soup according to your preference and boil them together for a better taste.
