This is a very well documented menu, which many Chinese knew it. It was created like 2000 years ago (minimum) and very famous in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and many more.
Lately, when Michelin visited Singapore – this menu was documented and also featured in Michelin list. Check this
For now – its the golden time for me to document this in Makanan.club. Hopefully someone will find it useful, and i have tagged it with a non-halal tagging.
This dish of tender, gelatinous pork trotters stewed in sweet tangy vinegar is a popular Cantonese dish. The collagen-rich meat coupled with the warming ginger and vinegar is thought to be very nourishing and is traditionally eaten by women after birth during their confinement period.
There are a few things to consider when preparing this dish: Firstly, a mix of sour black vinegar and sweet black vinegar are used; next, either young or old ginger can be used, though old ginger is preferred when cooking this dish for post-natal consumption. The secret ingredient in Crystal Jade Kitchen‘s recipe are brown sugar slabs. The brown sugar adds a rich caramel taste to the braising sauce.
Another trick is to chop up the trotters into smaller chunks so it is easier to eat afterwards, and also absorbs the braising liquid better. You can add other ingredients such as hard-boiled eggs towards the end of the braising time.
Well, if you may, you MUST try this dish.
