Clean and pluck off the hair from the pig's trotters. Cut into big serving pieces. Heat Sesame Seed Oil. Fry Old Ginger until golden brown fragrant. Put fried ginger into a BIG claypot. Add vinegar, water, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and leave to simmer for 30 minutes until ginger becomes soft. Add pig's trotters and continue to simmer until soft and tender (approximately 2 hours). Add shelled hard-boiled eggs 30 minutes before serving. You can also put the eggs in with shells intact. The vinegar will dissolve the shells and provide more calcium for the mother in confinement.
