Guoxing Potato Pork Knuckle Introduction
"Guoxing Potato Pork Trotter" was founded by Wu Xiuzhu, who helped at the "National Treasure Potato Pork Trotter" shop opened by her sister-in-law Li Xiufen. 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, the restaurant moved across the street and in 2015, it relocated again due to the landlord's return of the land to its current site. The ingredients of "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, rinsing them in clean water for later use. The potatoes are soaked for 8 hours and set aside. The pork trotters, potatoes, and flower beans are boiled for 1 hour and then simmered for half an hour, set aside with the broth remaining. When customers order, the appropriate amount of reserved pork trotters, potatoes, and flower beans are boiled in the broth, then served in a bowl topped with coriander. "Guoxing Potato Pork Trotter" has now passed to the second generation, with the daughter Chen Yiting and son-in-law Zheng Jinfeng taking over management in 2014.
