Pig foot ginger

"Pig foot ginger" is a traditional food in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, also known as "ginger vinegar". These days, and lost contact for many years two high school BFF contact, one is already a mother of two children, one also has a lovely daughter, now Guangzhou. She talked to a classmate in Guangzhou about "pig's foot ginger" and told me that she ate it for a few days when she was in confinement. Later, she lost her appetite when she saw it again, and now she is not interested in seeing pig's foot.

My classmates told me that "pig's foot ginger" is the body nourishing food for Guangzhou women after childbirth. Local people have a habit that 12 days after the birth of a newborn, if relatives and friends come to visit, or when the full moon is near, the family will bring ginger vinegar eggs to relatives and friends to eat. They are popular and will be sent to the neighborhood to show the joy of adding a baby. Therefore, "pig's foot ginger" is also called "cherry sweet vinegar". "Sweet vinegar with added Ding" is because the special sweet vinegar of Guangzhou is used to make pig's foot ginger. My classmates said that after leaving home for so many years, they still think Shanxi vinegar is the most delicious and delicious. You make pig's foot ginger, or I send you some sweet vinegar? I said forget it, I plan to use our hometown vinegar, Shanxi vinegar is also the most nourishing.

First, I BOUGHT A JIN OF GINGER IN THE VEGETABLE MARKET, TOOK it home, opened a bottle of beer, and scraped the ginger skin with the cover while DRINKING it. It is more effective than any sharp blade, I don't believe you can try it.

Originally, the pig's foot ginger should use the hind hoof, but I prefer the hands, every time I cook this dish, I change it to pig's hand ginger.

The weight of two pig feet, with the hand, to add one more, just enough throat. Please butcher cut a piece, his knife is good, the bone broken place does not contain broken bone, if you cut yourself, may be bone broken pierced mouth broken blood flow.

Zhejiang vinegar two jin, do not have to use eight Jane brand sweet vinegar.

Ten eggs, five fresh eggs, five salted eggs, the latter boiled not salty, neutralized by vinegar.

General housewife will be the above components one or two or three ground into the pot boiling, the effect must be ordinary tight. The correct way is to boil oil in a pan, throw it into the hand and fry it. Reserve a bucket of ice water, the more frozen the better, immediately after frying the hand into ice water, the outer skin shrinks, boiled until loose, and spring teeth, very bite head.

Cook for two hours. Don'T forget to use rock sugar. Put two egg-SIZED pieces.

Usually, the cooking method is to add sweet vinegar, but the sugar in sweet vinegar does not have the effect of rock sugar, and the vinegar is not so sweet as Zhejiang black vinegar. The rock sugar and vinegar are separated, and there is no mistake.
