Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken feet
- 80 ml coconut aminos
- 20 grams ginger, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 30 ml rice vinegar
- 15 ml honey
- 15 ml sesame oil
- 2 whole star anise
- 1 stick cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 30 grams green onions, chopped
- 1 liter water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the chicken feet. Scrub under running water and trim the nails off with kitchen scissors.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil. Add the chicken feet and 1 teaspoon of salt. Blanch the chicken feet by boiling them for about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool and stop the cooking process.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, sliced ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, and chili flakes.
Step 4
Add the blanched chicken feet to this mixture, and stir well to ensure they are evenly coated. Allow the chicken feet to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 5
After marinating, transfer the chicken feet and all marinade ingredients to a steaming dish that fits your steamer basket.
Step 6
Prepare your steamer by filling the bottom pot with water and bringing it to a boil. Place the steaming dish into the steamer basket and cover.
Step 7
Steam the chicken feet over medium heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until they are tender and the flavors have melded.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the dish from the steamer carefully as it will be hot.
Step 9
Sprinkle chopped green onions over the steamed chicken feet before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy your delicious and paleo-friendly Chicken Feet Dim Sum as an appetizer or main course.
