Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken feet, cleaned
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced
- 1 cup Whole30-compliant chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Whole30-compliant hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 1 whole Star anise
- 1 tablespoon Whole30-compliant fish sauce
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the chicken feet. Ensure to remove any yellow membranes and trim the nails using kitchen shears.
Prepare a medium-sized pot and fill it with water. Bring the water to a boil, then add the chicken feet. Blanch them for about 10 minutes. This will help remove impurities and soften the skin. Drain and rinse the chicken feet under cold water.
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, hot sauce, fish sauce, and chicken broth.
Place the blanched chicken feet into the mixing bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. For more flavor, consider marinating overnight in the refrigerator.
Transfer the marinated chicken feet and all the marinade into a steaming basket or a plate that fits into your steamer.
Add the star anise and bay leaf to the steam basket or plate.
Fill the lower part of your steamer with water and bring it to a simmer. Place the steamer basket over the simmering water.
Steam the chicken feet for about 1 hour or until they become tender and infused with the marinade's flavors.
Once done, carefully remove the chicken feet and garnish with freshly sliced green onions.
Serve the Whole30 Chicken Feet Dim Sum warm as a savory, nutritious snack.
