   We can make a few slits in the pig's trotters ourselves (or ask the butcher to cut them into 4 or 6 pieces for us).

   Prepare spices for later use.

   Blanch the pig's trotters in boiling water with cooking wine and a few slices of ginger.

   Crush the fermented bean curd, add 2 tablespoons of fermented bean curd juice, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce, and mix to make a sauce.

   After boiling the pig's trotters for 10 minutes, remove them, rinse them with cold water, drain them, and set aside.
