Beihai Pig Trotter Noodles

Beihai Pig Trotter Noodles

　　Pig trotter noodles get their name from the pig trotters used as an ingredient—they’re spicy, savory, and delicious. These are a specialty snack in Beihai. The dish uses carefully selected front pig trotters, simmered with dozens of precious Chinese medicinal herbs. The result is tender yet not greasy, crispy but not tough. The broth is specially blended to retain the original flavor while being richly appetizing, all at an affordable price. It has a uniquely delightful taste.

　　Pig trotters have a neutral nature, with a sweet and salty flavor. They help enrich blood, boost energy, promote lactation, and remove toxins—making them suitable for those who are weak or have low energy. The collagen in pig trotter bones contains minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, which can strengthen teeth and bones. Eating them with noodles or rice enhances their ability to replenish stamina and enrich the blood. Pig trotters also pair well with octopus—eating them together helps moisturize the skin and nourish qi and blood.
