Soaked mung beans and tender pig’s feet are slow-cooked in a clay pot with aromatic old ginger, red dates, dried lycium, and optional dried chili peppers for a subtle kick. The blend of light and dark soy sauce, cooking wine, and a pinch of safflower creates a deeply savory and slightly sweet broth. Marinating the ingredients before simmering ensures every bite is infused with flavor. Simmered for 1.5-3 hours, the result is a velvety, collagen-rich soup that’s both warming and nutritious. Perfect for boosting energy and promoting wellness, this dish is a delicious way to enjoy a time-honored recipe. Serve hot for a satisfying meal!
