(2) Make trotters into Jiang Mo, add some water and sweet vinegar, and cook together.
A: You are not allowed to add water to cook. It is not allowed to add water to the production of pig's foot ginger. Ginger with water is not resistant to release and tends to go bad. The main addition is sweet vinegar.
If there is less food and sweet vinegar in the pot during confinement, you can add new food and sweet vinegar to cook together. Cooking once a day without adding raw water will not taste bad, but you should eat old vegetables first to avoid the pork trotters being too rotten for too long, so the recycled ginger will taste better.
③ When making trotter ginger, why does ginger need to be cooked for 20 minutes in advance? Cann't it be cooked with pig's trotters?
A: Ginger and trotters can't be cooked together. Ginger is cooked for 20 minutes in advance in order to boil out the ginger flavor in ginger.

① Eggs will harden if soaked in pig's feet ginger for too long, so you don't need to add too much eggs in pig's feet ginger. It is recommended to add enough eggs for two days, and then add new eggs to cook after eating to ensure the taste and taste of eggs.
② If you think that the pig's foot ginger made from pig's feet is very greasy, you can use pig's feet instead.
After the pig's trotters are blanched, drain the excess water and then put it into the pot for cooking. There is too much water in sweet vinegar, which is not conducive to the subsequent preservation of trotter ginger and is easy to deteriorate.
(4) Ginger with pig feet needs no seasoning, and its main taste is the sour and sweet taste of sweet vinegar. Whether the pork knuckle ginger is sour or sweet has a lot to do with the sweet vinegar selected. If the taste is too sour, you can add brown sugar to adjust the sweet and sour taste.
⑤ You can't use the iron pot to make ginger with pig feet, because the acidic substances in sweet vinegar will react with the iron pot for a long time, corrode the iron pot, and finally make ginger with rust flavor. Casserole is the best way.
