Pork Trotter in Sweet and Sour Vinegar

I wanted to cook this dish for years. Due to lots of preparation work from the recipe books, I have delayed it because of too much work.

Eat out for this dish is pricey.As many were teaching me the easiest way to cook this likeable dish, I have made it. Yay!, my hubby said, nice and he requested to add dark soy sauce which I omitted earlier because the black beans are bringing out the nice black colour.

Drain well and dry.Young ginger, 200 gm, removed skin and cut into semi-thin slices or crushed chunks.Melaka sugar, 1/2 piece, chopped finelySalt, 1 tsp5 tbsp Ghee Hiang Sesame OilSweet Vinegar, 21/2 cupsDark Soy Sauce, 1 tbspBlack Beans, 200 gm soaked, oil-free fried and boiled Cooking Method1.
