Simmer over a low flame for 1 hour. Remove. Steam for 10 minutes. Save the
juice oozing out from the pork foot. Put the pork foot, upside down, on the
plate. Stir-fry the dried pickled cabbage with sesame oil. Add the juice
above, cornstarch paste, and spring onion. Mix well. Pour it over the pork
foot. Fry the carrot and turnip balls for 3 minutes. Garnish the dish with

oil over a very small flame. It looks like soy sauce and helps deepen the
colour of the dish.
