Braised Chicken Feet (shortcut dim sum-style)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is Diana’s recipe for braised chicken feet. It’s the first time I’ve seen chicken feet cooked through in beer, and the outcome was great! It’s not exactly the same as what you’d get at Yum Cha (for dim sum braised chicken feet, you have to cook the chicken through a few times i.e. deep fry it, steam it etc, stir fry it etc.) but I find this low effort to high flavour impact ratio the best.

If it’s your first time handling chicken feet and have any questions, send a DM through on my Instagram and I’ll get back to you ASAP!

If you’re a visual learner, watch me make it here.

Cuisine Chinese
Servings 4 people as a side dish

Ingredients
  

  • 900 g Chicken feet
  • Spring onions
  • 2-3 cm of Ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing cooking wine
  • 2 Star anise
  • 3 Bay leaves
  • 1 Cinnamon
  • 1 Hot chili
  • 1 Light soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon Dark soy sauce (this is a must, gives it the colour)
  • 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
  • 1 rock Crystal sugar (or 1 tablespoon white sugar)
  • ½ tablespoon Salt
  • Bottle of beer

Instructions
 

  • Clean your chicken. Using salt, scrub the chicken with your hands. Run under cold water to get rid of the salt flakes. Grab a chopping board and chop off the fingernails.
  • Now to cook your chicken. Grab a pan or pot, deep enough to boil the chicken feet in. Turn to medium heat. Add ginger & spring onion. Let it toast for a few minutes until fragrant. Add cold water. Add chicken feet, ensuring the feet are submerged. Add shaoxing cooking wine. Bring to boil, then pop back down to medium heat. Put the lid on and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Now take it off the heat. Don't throw away this liquid, you've now got a very nutritious broth to serve on the side/repurpose.
  • In a separate pan on medium high heat, add oil. Add ginger, Sichuan pepper, star anise, bay leaf, cinnamon and chilli and toast for a few minutes. Then add chicken feet, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, crystal and salt. Mix together, coating the feet in the flavour. Add beer. bring it to a boil, then turn down on low-medium heat.
  • Cover with a lid and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until tender. (Check the chicken feet from time to time and make sure there's enough liquid during braising. Add more broth if you think more liquid is needed, don't let it burn!)
  • Remove the lid, and turn the heat to high. Stir fry until the sauce has thickened. If it's lacking a bit of colour, add a dash of dark soy, you'll see it come through. To serve, garnish with chopped spring onions at the end and voilà. Enjoy!

    Is there any substitute for oyster sauce?

Last night, I shared a 15 minute audio journal ent Last night, I shared a 15 minute audio journal entry <see grid> about why I quit my job at L’Oreal to move to the Northern Rivers for a new job at Conscious Ground, a certified organic farm dedicated to regenerating the land. 
I’m so excited to be joining this legend @baron_walton & to be making content about the eco-system being built that is Conscious Ground —  farm to table // regenerative farming to holistic cookery. 🍃 
Come on over and check out what we’re up to. Head over to @consciousground
Here are some BTS snippets from the last 3 weeks — so excited to share more with you in the new year. 
Happy holidays everyone! 🌈

A few snaps of schtuff we ate this week. I focused A few snaps of schtuff we ate this week. I focused on making vege loaded meals to nourish our bodies — treating Veges as the main dishes with Meat as a side, rather than the other way around. ✌🏽 
From left to right —
1. Thai beef salad (see video on my grid for recipe) / Stir fry Bok choy topped with hemp seeds / Grilled chicken satay (see video for recipe) 
2. Turmeric chicken noodle soup 
3. Wednesday night treat 🤤
4. Lettuce salad & hemp seeds / Veg packed Fried rice 
5. Sourdough (from the bakery.. I didn’t make it 😅)
Will drop my next video in the coming weeks, just taking a little break as I settle back into Aus 🙏🏼

Slow cooked beef with Vietnamese herbs / Pineapple Slow cooked beef with Vietnamese herbs / Pineapple salsa / Coriander jasmine rice / Paprika dusted pineapple / Lettuce salad 
End-of-week-fridge-clean-out used to be my least favourite part of home cooking because I’d often be left with excess produce I didn’t know how to use outside of a recipe, but as I gained more confidence in the kitchen (through doing, learning more dishes, stuffing up & repeating), I started looking forward to it more. In fact, I love it now — it’s like a nice end of week challenge! 
It’s probs because I’m forced to think outside the box, which makes me feel like an **artist** — you gotta work with what you’ve got (sometimes u just gotta shekk 💃🏻 what ur mama 🤰gave ya). 
Excluding our classic pantry staples, we had beef brisket, a whole pineapple, carrots, coriander, lettuce, tomatoes, lemons & lime, onions & ginger left over in the fridge. 
With the help of some spices, herbs, fish sauce & half a bottle of Merlot, I threw together this delicious slow cooked beef stew (ok fine I also chucked in a lil cocoa powder & ground coffee [my rationale was literally.. “oooo.. what if I just… yolo.. oops! *simmer for 6 hours * *taste*.. okay I vibe that..]). 
To cut through the rich beef flavours I made a pineapple salsa, lettuce salad, coriander rice & paprika dusted pineapple. 🍍🥬🍚
Twas scrumptious. Just ask Jason. 👀

Yesterday I made @brendan_pang’s Sheng Jian Bao Yesterday I made @brendan_pang’s Sheng Jian Bao 生煎 包(well, kinda). 
My first crack at this dish — I didn’t have cake flour so I subbed with a flour + cornstarch mix, which meant the dough was a little on the chewier side (vs. fluffy & white). Not the ideal 生煎包 texture but they kinda reminded me of Momos (Nepalese dumplings), which took me way back to 2018 when @berntoohey and I did the Everest base camp trek 🏔 Momo coma 🤌🏽
@brendan_pang I literally jumped up and down when I got this book in the mail for my bday (thank you @y__ilin) and have loved all the recipes I’ve tried so far! 🥟
