Tips:
1. The brown sugar at the base of ginger vinegar must be put last, otherwise it will be difficult to burn easily
2. Do not add water to the ginger vinegar base. After the vinegar is boiling, be sure to turn to a low heat immediately
3. Make the ginger vinegar base first to save it until you can continue to eat it next time. Whenever you want to eat it, you can take out a portion of the ginger vinegar and cook it together. If you boil the eggs, pig's feet and ginger vinegar directly together, it will not be preserved for a long time. The pure ginger vinegar can be kept for several months after boiling it every few days.
4. If you only want to try it once, you can put ginger, diced vinegar, pork knuckles, and eggs in the same pot and simmer for 40 minutes, then add brown sugar and stew for 20 minutes. The amount of ginger, egg, pork knuckle and vinegar It can also be adjusted according to the number of people.
5. Pork knuckles boiled in ginger vinegar are easier to soften than usual, so the cooking time can be adjusted according to the size of the pig knuckles, usually with chopsticks and the pig skin is soft.
6. Some people who boil pork knuckles and ginger say that they need to stir-fry the ginger or pig's knuckles. In fact, this is not necessary. There is oil in the pig's script. The pork knuckle ginger that is stir-fried and then boiled will have a lot of oil. This method is relatively simple and delicious, you can try it.
