Pig’s Trotter in Vinegar, also called 猪脚醋 or ‘ter ka cho’ (Hokkien) among the Chinese community, or pork knuckles in black sweet vinegar, is a common postpartum dish for postnatal mums during the ‘confinement period’, that is the one month after they have given birth. It is believed that it will help new mums to warm the womb and purge the “wind” in her body, without doing which, will leave bad side effects in the body during her old age. The collagen from the fatty and gelatinous trotters cooked with vinegar (vinegar helps break down calcium in animal bones) will also help to replenish calcium and collagen lost during her pregnancy, thus other than the trotters, protein-rich eggs are also added to the dish to help build back muscles. #猪脚醋 ’
