My wife has hired a yuesao (sort of midwife) to help her during the first month after pregnancy (called yuezi). She has lots of special traditional recipes to help mom recover and to stimulate milk-production. Today the first in this series: pig feet stewed in vinegar with lots of ginger.
stewed pigfeet in vinegar
Ingredients:
- more than a kg of pig feet
- 2 liter sweet vinegar (“ba zhen tian cu” = eight treasure sweet vinegar)
- lots of fresh ginger
- some boiled eggs
1. wash the pigfeet
2. put them in a big stone bowl
3. add the whole bottle of sweet vinegar to it (I think especially this kind). Also add lots of sliced fresh ginger and some boiled eggs.
4. boil for several hours. During boiling remove the excess oil. Should be eaten warm. Smells very good!
