Hello everyone. Today I will share a braised method with you.
If you follow my method, the braised chicken feet, the meat is tender and flavorful,
and full of flavor. It's a dish that children at home especially like. Let's learn about.
First, we choose 1.5 kilograms of chicken feet. When we choose chicken feet, we should choose
the kind with a little red on it. Chicken feet of this color are more tender and fresh,
and they are fresh. We use scissors to cut off the nails. In fact, there are some tips for braised
chicken feet. Today I happen to have time. I'll share the detailed method with you.
After cutting the chicken feet, sprinkle a little salt and add a spoonful of ordinary flour.
Then we mix them well with our hands, because flour has strong adsorption,
can absorb impurities in the gaps of chicken feet, and bacteria out. And salt also has the
effect of sterilization and disinfection. So when we clean chicken feet, we must do it like me.
After mixing well, we pour in a lot of water, and then wash the chicken feet with clean water.
The chicken feet cleaned in this way are really very clean. Then take them out,
and directly put them in a larger bowl, and pour in clean water to wash them again.
We should wash the chicken feet at least 2 or 3 times, until the chicken feet are completely
cleaned. Then take them out and put them directly on the chopping board. Cut them in half. This way,
they will be more flavorful, after all is dealt with. Then we put the chicken feet.
Put them in a larger bowl. Next, prepare a piece of ginger, and cut it into thin slices.
And then cut it into shredded ginger. Then prepare some scallions, and cut them into
sections directly. After all the cutting, put them in a bowl. Next, sprinkle a little salt.
Then add more light soy sauce. A little pepper. Add some sugar. And add 2 spoons of cooking wine.
And crush all the scallions and shredded ginger. We need to marinate the chicken feet here,
to make the chicken feet more flavorful, and more delicious. So this step is very important.
Mix them well. Mix well. Marinate the chicken feet for about 2 hours.
Next, we need to prepare a steamer. Put the chicken feet in the steamer. Use chopsticks
to arrange the chicken feet. Cover the lid and steam for an hour and a half. Then make a sauce.
A small spoonful of salt. Some chicken essence. Add oyster sauce to enhance flavor.
Add 2 spoonfuls of light soy sauce. A little pepper. And some sugar. A small bowl of water.
Stir it constantly with a spoon. Stir well. Making the sauce is just to save time for cooking,
so that you won't be in a hurry when cooking. By this time, our chicken feet are almost steamed.
Wow, it smells so good. Look, they are almost boneless. Which proves that the chicken feet
are cooked. Take out the chicken feet and let them cool. Next, heat a pan. Add a small amount
of cooking oil. And add the garlic to the pot. Stir fry it over high heat. And stir fry them
quickly. Then we put the chicken feet in the pot again. Continue to stir fry them quickly over high
heat. Wow, it's really delicious. Dear friends, you've watched this video. If my video is helpful
