This is one of my favorite soup. I don't know why hated it when I was little. Probably the same reason why my kids hate it now. I have grown a taste for this soup and to know that it's very good for me it's a good thing. It is also a good thing the kids don't like this soup, as this soup is not really that good for kids to drink. The ginger and the sweet vinegar might be too much for the kids to handle. Ginger also has a bit of a strong smell and taste where kids and some adults don't like. This soup is traditional made for post natal (after preganancy) for the mothers to eat and drink to help them get their strength back and to help circulate the blood.
Ingredients:
Ginger (8 big ones)
Sweet Vinegar ( One huge jug)
One whole pig foot
Black Rice Vinegar (optional)
Salt
Hard boiled eggs (optional)
Preparation:
Wash, cut and stir fry ginger in a big pan. Put pig feet in a huge pot of boiling water. After ten minutes take pig feet out and wash and clean. Place ginger, pig feet and enough sweet vinegar to cover the pig foot and ginger add a pinch of salt then cover the ceramic pot and let it cook on high till it boils then turn down heat to low or medium and let it cook for serveral hours. I usually let it cook for about 8 to ten hours. Then, add some hard boil eggs into it if you like. ***Note here don't use any other kind of pot to cook the last step but a ceramic pot. I found the slow cooker to be the best option for me.
