Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken feet
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon keto-friendly sweetener
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 2 star anise
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Start by thoroughly cleaning the chicken feet. Using a knife, trim away any excess nails and scaly skin, then rinse them under cold water.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the cleaned chicken feet. Blanch them for about 5 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large pot, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, keto-friendly sweetener, minced garlic, minced ginger, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon stick, green onions, water, salt, black pepper, and optional chili flakes.
Add the blanched chicken feet to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the chicken feet are very tender.
Check occasionally to ensure there’s enough liquid, and add a bit more water if necessary.
Once cooked, remove the chicken feet from the pot and allow them to cool slightly.
Serve warm as a dim sum dish, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
