Black Vinegar Pig Trotters

Pig trotters anyone? Love this spicy and sour pig trotter especially with a bowl of hot rice. When I had my girl, I had tried this dish before and it was so spicy due to the extra more old ginger that my mother had added in. Old folks used to believe that ginger can expelled the "wind" in our body especially to the new mothers, they must eat more of this and while the pig trotters are full of collagen, it is so nourishing to our skin. So even if you are not doing your confinement, you must try this dish out.
