Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken feet
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 Star anise
- 3 Cloves
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Green onions
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil
Instructions
Start by cleaning the chicken feet thoroughly under cold running water. Use kitchen scissors to remove the nails from each claw.
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the cleaned chicken feet and blanch them for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
In a separate pot, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and ginger, both sliced thinly, and sauté until fragrant.
Add the blanched chicken feet into the pot, followed by the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, star anise, cloves, cinnamon stick, black peppercorns, and salt. Stir well to coat all the chicken feet with the sauce.
Pour 4 cups of water into the pot, ensuring that the chicken feet are mostly submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the chicken feet are tender.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Let the liquid reduce until it forms a thick glaze over the chicken feet, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened and the chicken feet are beautifully glazed, turn off the heat and add the sesame oil. Stir well.
Transfer the chicken feet to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor and color.
Serve hot as a delightful sugar-free dim sum dish.
