Wash cow foot with vinegar, put to drain, add all ingredients to it. Use hand to rub seasons to meat. Leave to marinate for two hours. Put pot on fire and add the cooking oil to it, add the  cow foot to it, do not add the scallion,thyme,hot pepper (To avoid the cow foot popping in the hot oil, do not allow the oil to become hot before putting the cow foot in it.) stir then add some water to it then cover the pot, allow the cow foot to boil until tender. Add hot pepper,thyme,scallion to pot cover and allow it to shimmer for ten minutes. Add ketchup (optional) to meat three minutes before removing it from fire.

Some people use pressure cooker to prepare cow foot, I do not use it. You can also add butter beans or bake beans to it .
