Steps

1. 1 Buy half a pig trotter and chop it.

   

2. 2 Prepare ginger, green onions, rock sugar, and ginger.

4. 4 Prepare tomato sauce.

   

5. 5 Add ginger, green onions and cooking wine to the water, pour the pork trotters and bring to a boil. Remove the pork trotters and set aside.

   

6. 6 Heat oil in a pan and add rock sugar. Use a spatula to slowly stir and melt the rock sugar until it bubbles.

   

7. 7 Burn until the rock sugar turns into numerous big bubbles.

   

8. 8 Immediately pour the pork knuckles into the pot and stir-fry with a spatula to let it color. This step is called sugar-frying to make the color of the pig's trotters more beautiful.
