Chicken Feet (1kg)

Ingredients:

1 pound chicken feet
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
2 cups water
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Cleaning the chicken feet:

Rinse the chicken feet thoroughly under cold running water.
Use a sharp knife to trim and discard the nails.
Place the chicken feet in a large pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil.
Boil for about 3-5 minutes, then drain the chicken feet.

Preparing the sauce:

In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, grated ginger, and chili flakes (if desired). Mix well and set aside.

Cooking the chicken feet:

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and lightly browned.
Add the chicken feet to the skillet and stir-fry for a few minutes, allowing them to brown slightly.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken feet, and stir to coat them evenly.
Add 2 cups of water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and simmer over low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours until the chicken feet become tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving:

Once the chicken feet are tender and the sauce has thickened, remove them from the heat.
Transfer the chicken feet to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Serve hot as an appetizer or as part of a main course with steamed rice or noodles.

Note: Chicken feet can take a while to cook and become tender, so be patient and adjust the cooking time as needed. Additionally, feel free to add or adjust the seasonings and spices according to your taste preferences.
