Step 1

Soak the mung beans in water for 5-7 hours.

Step 2

Blanch the mung beans in cold water and set aside. It is important to use cold water to prevent the blood from coagulating in the bones.

Step 3

Add the mung beans and pig’s feet to a clay pot. Add ingredients such as old ginger, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, 5 red dates, a small handful of goji berries, 8 dried red chili peppers (optional), salt, and a pinch of saffron (optional).
