元蹄的做法一般就是冰糖或紅燒為主，換個做法做這道南乳元蹄。鹹香好吃，聚會的時候就著朋友帶來的金絲饅頭，異常受歡迎呢！
There are only so many trotter dishes in Chinese, mostly called for simmering in sweet soy sauce for a long period of time until the trotter becomes completely soft and tender.
This particular recipe uses fermented tofu instead, it gives a very distinctive fragrance and taste.
I made this dish for our Christmas party the other day, when served with the steamed buns brought by a friend, it was irresistible and everybody loves it!
材料：
2.5-3 磅/1500克 元蹄一隻
3-4 塊 南乳 （加上 2 tbsp 的南乳汁）
2-3 隻 八角/大料
1 段 桂皮
5-6 片薑片
4-5 頭蒜 （切片）
調料：
1 大勺 蠔油
1 大勺 醬油
2 小勺 紅糖
適量 食鹽
Ingredients：
2.5-3 lbs Pig's Trotter
3-4 pieces of fermented tofu (Nam Yu) （plus 2 tbsp of the sauce in bottle）
2-3 star anise
3 cm of cinnamon stick
5-6 slices of ginger root
4-5 cloves of garlic （slice thickly）
Seasoning：
1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
