Crab Hot Pot

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   First, thaw the chicken feet, trim the nails, cut them in half, and wash them thoroughly! Boil water in a pot, add scallions, ginger slices, chicken feet, and cooking wine, and blanch the chicken feet. ( •̀∀•́ ) Next, prepare the crabs, remove the gills, and cut them in half again! Pour oil into a pot, heat it, coat the crabs with cornstarch, and fry them. ←_←

   Step 2

   Pour 3 tablespoons of oil into a pot, add onions, garlic, scallions, and ginger, and stir-fry until fragrant. Add star anise, dried chili peppers, and bay leaves, and stir-fry 30 seconds. Reduce heat to low, add Pixian chili bean paste and stir-fry until the oil turns red. Add chicken feet and stir-fry evenly. Add water to cover the chicken feet, add light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and a pinch of sugar. Then—simmer it! *^_^* ☞The amount of dried chili peppers can be adjusted to your liking.☞When simmering the chicken feet, bring the water to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat. ☞Observe the tenderness of the chicken feet. If you like them softer, simmer longer. I prefer them softer, so I simmered them 30 minutes.
