Pig trotters contain high levels of collagen, which is known to improve skin elasticity and joint health. They are also a good source of protein and essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. Vermicelli noodles are low in calories and fat, making them a healthy alternative to other types of noodles.

== Ingredients ==

To make pig trotter stew with vermicelli, you will need the following ingredients:

2 pig trotters
200g vermicelli noodles
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 piece ginger, sliced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
3 cups water


== Recipe ==
# Clean the pig trotters thoroughly; blanch in boiling water for 5 minutes, then rinse and scrape clean.
# In a pot, combine trotters with ginger, garlic, onion, star anise, cinnamon, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 1.5–2 hours until the meat is tender and collagen-rich.
# Soak vermicelli noodles in warm water until soft. Add them to the stew in the last 10–15 minutes so they absorb the broth without turning mushy.
# Adjust seasoning. Serve hot as a main dish.
