Chicken Feet, Dim Sum style - How to Make Authentic Restaurant-style Chicken Feet (紫金凤爪)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Dim Sum style chicken feet, a.k.a. Feng Zhua or Pheonix Claws - a dish that's definitely a bit on the complex side but more than tasty to make up for it.
We do the Dim Sum restaurant-style steaming method for these chicken feet instead of the braising method that's popular online - lengthy steaming ensures tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken while still preserving its puffy skin. There's three sauces that're most common with chicken feet - abalone sauce, black bean sauce, and zijin chili garlic sauce... while all three are popular, we felt the zijin chili garlic variety was perhaps the most 'classic' with that distinctive red-ish color, so that's the direction we went.
As always, here's the detailed written recipe over on /r/cooking:

    It's kinda sad that a lot of people don't wanna try doing this simply because it appears like there's a lot if processes involved. This can be done in segments and a large batch can be prepared in advance. Just make the chashaobao sauce in advance (this has lots of uses, so it's okay to have plenty on hand). Then whenever you're feeling it, prepare and blanch some chicken feet the night before then refrigerate. The next morning, fry the feet, place in ice water and steam them. Meanwhile, make the ZiJin sauce. Once the initial steam is done, combine the feet with the sauce, then steam again. Doing all the processes at once makes it look challenging, but I don't think it's that much more difficult than making demi-glace.

    Haha yeah, specifically in Guangdong that's totally true, there's a whole culture around soups. So we're planning a 'Chinese Stocks 101' video where we introduce three basic stocks that you can use, but that's not totally the same thing. One of the issues I'm having conceptualizing a video on a soup is that it doesn't quite feel like enough content for one video. Maybe we can periodically make some soup whenever we do an easier dish, and release them at the same time?

    Chinese Cooking Demystified Awesome! I appreciate you even considering it! I have very good friends, practically family from Fujian, that always cook a nice soup to go with their meal. I believe there belief is that it aids in digestion, not taking in any cold liquids with their meal; balance if you will. I feel you on the content thing, maybe put together pairings of soup with a meal? :] thanks again!

    I think you could possibly play around with a pressure cooker. Outside that there's not too much you could do because this *is* a dish that needs low and slow. The dish's a bit intense I know... feel free to double or even triple this recipe and freeze.

    +Peter Vlčko Agree wholehearted on the first point, but I'd stay away from an air-fryer... the frying is really to puff up the skin and IIRC air-fryers basically bake the ingredients. You can totally use a deep-fryer if you got one, but do be careful if trying a bigger batch... the amount of liquid contained in the chicken feet's no joke and I don't want anyone to start a grease fire :)

    Carloshache So the idea here is that we wanna puff up the skin - I don't think baking could deliver the same result. The feet aren't gunna get oily from the frying or anything - the one hour soak with running water'll remove that.

    I know, right? The more Dim Sum dishes we make, the more respect I have for Dim Sum restaurants. It's honestly insane... these dishes are all basically the same intensity as you'd expect from festival food. It's really incredible... what other cuisine does this? Tapas dishes are tasty but simple fare... perhaps the only other thing I could think of might be Nasi Padang in Indonesia? Even then, I think Dim Sum has an edge over Nasi Padang in terms of complexity.

    @@jungshook1849 I'm talking about authentic Chinese food. The word "authentic" look it up. I may have been born in the USA (and still live here), but I have traveled around the world. And I may not live in China, nor am I full 100% Chinese, but I come from a Chinese family. I'm ½ Chinese and grew up with my Chinese side of the family. My mother (full Chinese) was born in China (1949), her parents (my grandparents) were from China. Grandpa born in 1909 and Grandma 1927. I have family still in China. My own grandmother had her own restaurant and used MSG to make food for the customers, but for the family we never ate it for the fact it is not good for you. There are restaurants that use list on the menu that they use it, however you can ask them to simply not use it in that dish if you want. Family I have in mainland China (Beijing) and in Hong Kong both know many places where you can get real authentic food without MSG. Many southern places in Guangdong Provence and Hong Kong serve the Chinese meal Dim Sum. The vast amount of places that serve that traditional dish do not use MSG and stick to the authentic recipes. I also have US friends who live overseas there that teach English as well that have 2nd me on that same info. Besides, again I said "real authentic Chinese restaurants" which means the real things. And I also said "themselves" which includes not just Chinese living only in China. You are simply listing "East Asia" and I doubt that since I have a large family there that tells me different along with friend who has lived there for over 5 years. In reality it depends on the person, it is up to the individual. But I must agree MSG is the shit... the shit that increases the chance of cancer, that's why many smart people don't eat it. And why there are restaurants that tell you they use it and let you have the option of leaving it in or taking it out. Also the reason why my grandma did the same when she owned her restaurant. Sure makes food taste good, but the food she made technically wasn't authentic since MSG isn't a true natural ingredient.
