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)

Directions

Step 1

Start by thoroughly cleaning the chicken feet. Using a knife, trim away any excess nails and scaly skin, then rinse them under cold water.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the blanched chicken feet to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Check occasionally to ensure there’s enough liquid, and add a bit more water if necessary.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the chicken feet from the pot and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 8

Serve warm as a dim sum dish, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
