Guoxing Potato Pork Knuckle Introduction
"Guoxing Potato Pork Trotter" was founded by Wu Xiuzhu, who helped at the "National Treasure Potato Pork Trotter" restaurant run by her sister-in-law Li Xiufen. After more than ten years, she opened "Guoxing Potato Pork Trotter" at the north end of Guoxing Bridge. In 2009, due to the landlord reclaiming the land, she relocated across the street, and in 2015, she moved to the current location for the same reason. The ingredients used in "Guoxing Potato Pork Trotter" are potatoes, flower beans, and pork trotters. The preparation method involves boiling the pork trotters first to sterilize and remove blood, then washing them with clean water for later use. Potatoes are soaked for 8 hours and set aside. The pork trotters, potatoes, and flower beans are then boiled for 1 hour and simmered for another half hour, after which they are set aside while leaving the broth. When customers order, an appropriate amount of reserved pork trotters, potatoes, and flower beans are cooked in the broth until boiling, and then served in bowls garnished with coriander. "Guoxing Potato Pork Trotter" has now passed to the second generation, with Wu's daughter Chen Yiting and son-in-law Zheng Jinfeng taking over the operation in 2014.
