    Step 7

    Put all the ingredients into a pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for at least one and a half hours. I used a clay pot, and the flavor was very authentic. (Note that since this is for making vinegar, it's not suitable to use an iron pot, as it will cause a chemical reaction. I suggest you search online for the specific reasons.)

    Step 8

    After the eggs and ginger have changed color, turn up the heat and add the pig's trotters. Bring to a boil, then continue to simmer over low heat until the pig's trotters are tender and fall off the bone. Then it's ready to serve.
