Origin: Nanjing, Jiangsu, China
Source: Yuan Mei 袁枚, 1792
Ingredients
- sheep's trotters
- soy sauce (秋油 — autumn-pressed)
- salt
- Chinese yam (山藥)
Instructions
- Braise the sheep's trotters following the method for braised pig's trotters. The recipe yields two color variants: use clear soy sauce (秋油) for the red-braised version, or salt alone for the white-braised version. Chinese yam is an appropriate accompaniment to either preparation.
