Recipe: Pig's Trotter with Old Ginger and Vinegar

Yes! It's recipe time!! *ding ding ding*!

Been a while since I last shared recipes on my blog. So, here's one that I found on the internet and tweaked it slightly. Tried this recipe thrice already.



Ingredients
1 pig's trotter (front trotters preferred)
1 kg old ginger, washed and smashed with skin on
5-8 hard boiled eggs (depending on how many you are serving)
5 Tbsp sesame oil
600 ml black vinegar (use Black Dog brand available at most supermarkets)
300 ml sweet vinegar or 200 gm brown sugar
500 ml filtered water

Method
1. Clean and chop the trotter into big pieces.
2. Blanche the trotter in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes. Drained.
3. Heat sesame oil in a wok and fry ginger till golden brown and fragrant.
4. Put in the trotter in the wok and brown the pieces slightly. Take the trotter pieces out and set aside in a plate.
5. Transfer ginger, sesame oil into a claypot. Pour in the black vinegar and the sweet vinegar. If no sweet vinegar, brown sugar will do. (you may vary with the vinegars or sugar, as per your own taste).
6. Bring to boil and gradually add the filtered water. Simmer the ginger for 30 minutes and add in the trotter pieces. Continue to simmer for 40 minutes to 1 hour.
7. Put the shelled hard boiled eggs into the vinegar gravy and cover. Place the pot into an induction cooker* and let it stay in there overnight.
8. Next morning, you're all ready to feast!

It is yums! :D

*I heard that for induction cookers, Tiger brand is good. But I using ENDO brand, which is good too IMHO. :)
