Guoxing Potato Pork Knuckle Introduction
"The Guoxing Potato Pig's Trotters" was founded by Wu Xiuzhu, who helped at the "National Treasure Potato Pig's Trotters" restaurant opened by her sister-in-law Li Xiufen. After more than 10 years, she established "Guoxing Potato Pig's Trotters" at the north entrance of the Guoxing Bridge. In 2009, due to the landlord reclaiming the land, the restaurant relocated to the opposite side, and in 2015, it moved to its current location due to the landlord's need to reclaim the land again. The ingredients for "Guoxing Potato Pig's Trotters" include potatoes, flower beans, and pig's trotters. The method involves boiling the pig's trotters to sterilize and remove blood, then washing them with clean water for later use. The potatoes are soaked for 8 hours and then set aside. The pig's trotters, potatoes, and flower beans are boiled together for 1 hour and then simmered for another half hour, after which they are set aside, leaving the broth. When customers place their orders, an appropriate amount of prepared pig's trotters, potatoes, and flower beans are added to the broth to boil, then served in a bowl with coriander on top. "Guoxing Potato Pig's Trotters" has now passed to the second generation, with Wu's daughter Chen Yiting and son-in-law Zheng Jinfeng taking over the business in 2014.
