People either love or hate this dish. Some ppl couldn't stand the smell of vinegar but some of my friends can drink a big bowl of the vinegar itself (my ex-colleagues will know who!!!).
I think you can only find this type of sweet vinegar at Outram wet market near Temple Street, so I made a special trip to buy a big jar of this vinegar (in photo) + 1 bottle of HK "8 treasures" sweet vinegar. The hard work is to scrap off the ginger skin. The rest is simple... just boil it once a week so to make the ginger less spicy, and more seasoned to taste. I preferred sweeter in taste so I added a packet of slab sugar to sweeten the vinegar. Then just add the pig trotters whenever you're ready to eat. As usual I used my pressure cooker to cook the pig trotters, or you may have to stew it for hours.
My hard work paid off as most of my friends like it and I've been eating this dish everyday for 2 weeks.
