Braised pig's trotters with soybeans.

Chop the pig's feet into pieces and blanch them to remove the blood foam. Soak the soybeans in advance. Heat the oil and stir-fry the ginger slices. Add the pig's feet and stir-fry until slightly yellow. Add light soy sauce and dark soy sauce for seasoning. Add hot water to cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat. When the pig's feet are soft and rotten, add the soybeans and continue to stew until the soybean fragrance overflows and the soup is thick. Sprinkle some chopped green onions before serving.
