Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken feet, cleaned and nails trimmed
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
- 1 piece Star anise
- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the chicken feet. Use a small brush to scrub away any dirt, and snip off the nails using kitchen scissors.
Step 2
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Blanch the chicken feet in the boiling water for about 5 minutes. This helps to clean off any impurities.
Step 3
Drain and rinse the chicken feet with cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside.
Step 4
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, sesame oil, and Chinese five-spice powder. Stir well to create a marinade.
Step 5
Toss the blanched chicken feet in the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 6
Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil in the steamer's bottom compartment. Arrange the marinated chicken feet in the steamer basket in a single layer.
Step 7
Steam the chicken feet over medium heat for about 60 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure there is enough water bubbling at the bottom.
Step 8
As the chicken feet steam, in a separate saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, the Shaoxing wine, and the star anise. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Once the chicken feet have finished steaming, transfer them to the saucepan with the Shaoxing wine mixture. Gently simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Step 10
Garnish the chicken feet dim sum with freshly chopped scallions and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before serving hot. Enjoy your heart-healthy chicken feet dim sum!
