Steps:

1. Blanch the cow hooves (place raw cow hooves in a cold water pot and bring to a boil; simmer for 2 minutes, then rinse with cold water to remove blood residue), drain.Bloodmopu

Froth

2. In another clean pot, add the cow hooves with just enough water to cover them, along with star anise, cinnamon, onion segments, ginger blocks, and sufficient soysauce and cooking wine; bring to a boil then simmer on low heat until the cow hooves are tender. A regular pot will take at least one hour.

3. Note that if these seasonings are left in for too long during the simmering process, they might impart an medicinal flavor when removing the liquid. Therefore, halfway through cooking, remove all the seasonings and transfer only the cow hooves and the broth to a fresh pot until the meat is tender.

4. Once the cow hooves can be easily pierced with a fork, add the softened tofu puffs and mushrooms, simmer together for 10 minutes before thickening the sauce slightly over high heat.
