Brimming with local flavors, pig trotter rice is a fast food favorite in south China's Hainan. It can be easily found on the streets across this tropical island province. The variant made with Tunchang black pigs is notably popular. 

The classic way to eat pig trotter rice is to get a spoonful of pig trotter with soup on top of the rice, and add various homemade side dishes such as taro stalks, sour bamboo shoots, stir-fried water spinach, watermelon skin, and pickled vegetables to the serving. 

Pig trotters have a soft and chewy taste, and are rich in nutrients. Collagen in pig trotters are one of the main components of human skin.
