　　【Pig’s Trotter】 The pig’s trotters used in Guiping Pig’s Trotter Noodles are rich but not greasy, with slightly crispy skin that is neither too soft nor too hard. The trotters have a neutral nature and a sweet-salty flavor, offering benefits such as enriching blood, boosting qi, promoting lactation, and detoxifying. They are suitable for those who are qi-deficient or physically weak. The collagen in the trotter bones contains minerals like calcium and phosphorus, which can strengthen teeth and bones. When paired with noodles, they further help replenish energy and enrich blood and qi. Pig’s trotters also pair well with octopus; eating them together can moisturize the skin and nourish qi and blood.

　　【Noodles】 Guiping Pig’s Trotter Noodles use ho fun (flat rice noodles). Ingredients: Rice. Production process: The rice is washed and ground into powder, then mixed with water to form a paste, steamed into sheets, and cooled before being cut into strips. The handmade ho fun has a white color. The noodles used in Guiping Pig’s Trotter Noodles are steamed by hand—from rice selection to slurry grinding to noodle steaming—all done manually without any machines, ensuring the quality and texture of the noodles. The most crucial part of steaming the noodles is controlling the heat; too much heat will make them tough, while too little will leave them undercooked.
