Furthermore it is probably the most famous Chinese Confinement dish in Malaysia. My friends in West Malaysia love to cook it for their daughters in law during their confinements. This dish is not eaten by Foochows during their confinements.
The trotters cooked this way become sweet, sour and spicy and the skin spongy and delicious. And it is supposed to get rid of headaches too.
There are several important ingredients for this dish. Firstly, the black vinegar used is known to help purify blood, and the old ginger can drive out wind and in the same way. Secondly, the brown sugar will counter act the dampness in the dish. Besides the trotters also provides good nutrition and give support to joint health.
Finally, sesame seed oil helps to promote blood circulation. I have taken liberty to use photos from Google for this post.

the vinegar used must be specially selected by those who know the recipe well. Not just any old vinegar.
