Meanwhile, soak, scrape and smash up GINGER ROOT. To COOK--in stock pot, heat 1/4 C oil, salt, and 2 T black bean/garlic (optional). Add pigs' feet & stir fry till well coated & heated through (5-10 minutes). Add the 2 bottles of vinegar, cover and bring to a boil. Simmer, turning periodically, for 1 1/2 hours or till meat is tender. If you like turnip, you can add bite-sized slabs of daikon/Chinese turnip the last 15 minutes of cooking. Good eating, but not necessary to pigs' feet.
The vinegar is also consumed. It coagulates when it is cold/refrigerated.

Personal Notes:
This is good for just eating, but is also medicinal. It is given in abundance to the new mother. The ginger and gelatin are beneficial for her recovery. Allie asked for this recipe. Traditionally, mother makes it for her daughter (in-law, too) after childbirth. Eat it daily for a week or two.
