  6. Stew (cook) the pig's trotters until the juice is reduced. Add an appropriate amount of soy sauce, oyster sauce, pepper, and chicken essence to adjust to your own taste. (Be sure to check it from time to time before the juice is reduced. Use chopsticks to poke the pig's trotters to see if they can be poked to avoid the lack of water in the front causing the pig's trotters to be undercooked. I am used to doing it myself and know how much water to add)
