Pork Trotters Braised In Black Vinegar

Found a packet of frozen Pork Trotters at the base of my chest freezer. Been sitting in the freezer for almost 2 months. Had been wanting to braise the pork trotters with black vinegar but had been procrastinating . So time to cook it the way we like. I did a cheat one and skipped a few steps. Did a fast and simple one. First, saute slices of ginger with sesame oil till fragrant. Add in the blanched trotters and continue to stir fry for a few minutes. Add in 4 cups water and simmer till trotters are soft. Add in 1 cup of black vinegar and continue to simmer under low heat until trotters are tender soft. Add sugar and seasoning and salt to taste. Serve with rice.
