Sweet & Sour Pig Trotter

Dusun modern cuisine is more influenced by Chinese cuisine especially in meat dishes. For this recipe, I get inspiration from Nyonya Cuisine. The original recipe is too spicy so I slightly modified it to suit with the taste of my family members who doesn’t really like spicy food.
