Pig trotters with ginger and black vinegar ~ 'Malaysian Monday no. 17'


Pig trotters with ginger and black vinegar is a 'heaty'  dish and is a very popular dish for confinement mothers.
The black vinegar helps in blood circulation and purifies the blood, the ginger helps to get rid of wind in the body and the collagen in the trotters helps to strengthen our joints and ligaments.
It's the Cantonese tradition that this is cooked on the 12th day after childbirth when the baby is 12 days old and together with another speciality, 'Chicken in rice wine', they are distributed to relatives and close friends to announce the arrival of a newborn.
I normally like to cook this dish during the rainy season when the weather is slighly cooler!
