Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce

Ingredients

• •2 lbs chicken feet, cleaned and blanched
• •3 tablespoons fermented black beans, rinsed
• •6 cloves garlic, minced
• •2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
• •3 tablespoons soy sauce
• •1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• •1 teaspoon sugar
• •2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• •1 cup chicken stock
• •2 dried red chilies
• •3 green onions, sliced

Directions

1. 1Heat oil in a wok or large pan over high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. 2Add rinsed fermented black beans and dried chilies, stir-fry for 1 minute to release flavors.
3. 3Add blanched chicken feet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly caramelized.
4. 4Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and chicken stock. Stir well to combine.
5. 5Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer covered for 25-30 minutes until chicken feet are very tender.
6. 6Uncover and simmer for 3-5 minutes more if needed to reduce sauce slightly and concentrate flavors.
7. 7Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot over steamed rice.

💡 Blanching chicken feet softens the skin and removes surface impurities, but the later black-bean braise provides the flavour; rinse well before that sauce stage.
