The method of making it is also very simple. There is no complicated process. Just chop the pig's feet into fine pieces and cook them with star anise, cinnamon and other ingredients. When eating, add a piece of oily pig's feet to a bowl of soup noodles and serve with it. A small dish of chili sauce. Perhaps because it is economical, has plenty of oil and water, and makes you less likely to get hungry, it is very in line with the tastes of Qinzhou people and has become the first choice of Qinzhou residents for breakfast and late-night snacks. Qinzhou Pig's Trotter Noodles are different from "Guilin Rice Noodles" in Guilin, Guangxi and "Liuzhou Snail Noodles" in Liuzhou, Guangxi. It is impossible to see the words "Authentic Pig's Trotters Noodles" in any corner of Qinzhou City because there is no unified standard. It's hard to say which one is "authentic". Any pig's trotters with powder are pig's trotters powder. It's just up to the diners to decide whether the taste is good or bad. Although they are different, the method is basically the same, so you don’t have to worry about the taste being too different and have to choose an “authentic” one. There are three pig's trotters noodle stalls that represent Qinzhou's characteristics: the stall on Erma Road, the stall on Qinzhou University East Campus, and the stall on Hongsao Road on Jianshe Road. Their characteristics are that the pork trotters are soft but not rotten, fat but not greasy, and the soup is delicious and slightly sweet. Of course, in addition to pig trotters powder, there are also: cucumber peel, lychee, longan, banana, etc.
