The delicacy of pig's trotters and ginger is very popular in Guangdong. Even if no one in the family is in confinement, they will make it and eat it.

Our family also likes to eat pig's trotters and ginger, especially the smell that comes out during the making process is really intoxicating.

Sometimes I see people selling pig's trotters and ginger in the market. I will go over and smell the taste to get addicted, but I don't buy it. After all, the pig's trotters sold outside cannot guarantee the source of supply.

So, how to make pig’s trotters and ginger vinegar for postpartum period?

1. Prepare the ingredients: a whole pig's foot, ask the vendor to stew it into small pieces when you buy it; a bottle of vinegar; half a catty of rock sugar or yellow sugar; 1 catty of old ginger; 5 eggs.

2. Wash the pig's feet and scald them with boiling water to remove the oil, rinse them clean; clean the ginger, pat it a little, and peel it or not; boil the eggs and peel them.

3. Boil the water in the casserole, add the pig's trotters, ginger, and salt, and cook for 1 hour; then pour in the vinegar and rock sugar, and simmer over low heat; add the eggs after cutting them; cook like this for 2-

After 3 hours, if the water dries up, pour in the vinegar again.

Some families don't like to add water, mainly because they are afraid that it will not be easy to preserve. However, I think if all the vinegar is used, it will be very volatile and acidic. If you boil it with water first, you won't need so much vinegar.

If someone in the family is in confinement, they will cook it on low heat for a day and night, and then continue to add fresh ingredients while eating. However, if you eat it normally, there is no need to cook it for so long, and you don’t need to eat so much.
