Crispy Salt and Pepper Pig's Trotters

Last updated 2026-11-10 — Crispy Salt and Pepper Pig's Trotters is one of the classic风味 snacks from Dalian. The meat and tendons on the trotter are glossy and juicy, with a large bone running through the tender, fatty flesh. The skin is crispy and crackly, and all the seasonings are marinated in advance—even the black pepper is sprinkled on just before serving. These trotters are delightfully chewy, offering a zero-distance bite into the elastic tendons, with a satisfying “pulling” sensation and flavors that have fully penetrated the meat. Trust me, with something this delicious, two people can easily polish off several whole trotters in no time.
