1. First rinse the pig's trotters with running purified water for half an hour to remove the grease.

2. Then put a little green onion and ginger in the pot, boil it for a while, then add the rinsed pig's trotters in blanching water.

3. After taking it out, wash away the floating foam.

4. Add enough salt, cooking wine, green onion and ginger to the casserole. After pouring the pig's trotters, add enough water to cover the pig's trotters.

5. Simmer until chopsticks can be inserted just right, it doesn’t need to be too bad.

6. Take out the pig's trotters and soak them in enough ice water (the ice water should submerge the pig's trotters)

7. Prepare the seasonings for soaking pig trotters: pure rice vinegar, original color rock sugar, and wild sansho pepper. The rice vinegar and rock sugar must be of good quality so that the soaked pig's trotters taste good. Mainly highlighting the sweet and sour taste, slightly spicy. If you like it spicy, you can add more wild pepper.

8. Now mix the original color rock sugar, original rice vinegar and salt, dissolve it slightly, add wild pepper and wild pepper juice and enough cold boiled water. Then add the cooled pig's trotters and soak for 48 hours (refrigerate to keep them fresh).

The amount of rock sugar, rice vinegar, and wild pepper depends on personal taste. The ratio of sweet and sour is roughly 2:1. The sweet and sour taste must be stronger, and there is no need for too much salt.

9. When eating at the end, scoop out the marinade and pig's trotters, and top with red spicy oil, red pepper segments and chopped green onion.
