Clean pig trotters, wash them and chop them into bite-sized pieces.

2. Stir-fry briefly: Heat cooking oil in a pan, pour in pork legs and stir well.

3. Add flavor: Simmer over low heat until the meat is firm, then add ginger, onion and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.

4. Color and boil: Pour water into a pan, add soy sauce and wine, simmer over high heat until the water boils.

5. Stew meat: Pour all pork legs and broth into a deep-bottomed pot, then add rock sugar.
