Ox Trotter Hot Pot

　　　Ox trotter hot pot (also known as ox hoof hot pot) is an ancient and enduringly popular local hot pot dish from Linli.

　　Originally a rustic countryside dish, there’s a saying that goes “chew the ox tendons,” so it was rarely served at formal occasions such as weddings, funerals, or festivals. However, thanks to its enticing aroma, tender yet non-greasy meat, along with its rich content of fat and protein, as well as its medicinal properties in dispelling dampness and cold, the ox trotter hot pot has gradually become a signature local delicacy through the careful preparation by generations of renowned chefs in Linli. Today, this delicious dish can be enjoyed in both luxurious restaurants and humble street-side food stalls.

　　The main ingredient of the ox trotter hot pot is ox hoof, and the preparation involves scorching, hair removal, and thorough washing.
