Boil another pot of water, and when the water is hot, add a few slices of ginger and a few peppercorns. It is best to add a whole walnut, which will help it stew quickly and remove odors. Then put in the washed hoof. Boil the water over high heat for 10 minutes, then turn to low heat and simmer for an hour until it is cooked. It is absolutely delicious and has no odor.
