Add chopped canned tomatoes to the stew and blend everything together.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of dried herring powder and dried shrimp powder, adding a bit of water if needed, and cook for 20 minutes.

Add the cooked cow foot to the stew and let it simmer for 30 minutes, adjusting seasoning as necessary.
