Guo Xing Potato Pork Knuckle Introduction
The founder of "Guoxing Potato Pork Trotter," Wu Xiuzhu, helped at her sister-in-law Li Xiufen's "National Treasure Potato Pork Trotter" restaurant. After more than ten years, she opened "Guoxing Potato Pork Trotter" at the bridgehead north of Guoxing Bridge. In 2009, due to the landlord reclaiming the land, she relocated across the street and then moved to the current location in 2015 for the same reason. The ingredients for "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, followed by cleaning them with fresh water. The potatoes are soaked for 8 hours, drained, and set aside. The pork trotters, potatoes, and flower beans are cooked together for 1 hour, then simmered for another half hour before being removed and set aside, leaving the broth. When customers order, an appropriate amount of prepared pork trotters, potatoes, and flower beans is added to the broth to boil, and then it is served in a bowl garnished with coriander. "Guoxing Potato Pork Trotter" is now in its second generation, managed by Wu's daughter, Chen Yiting, and son-in-law, Zheng Jinfeng, who took over in 2014.
