Braised dishes – braised chicken feet, braised chicken wings

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Place thawed chicken wings or feet in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for two to three minutes before turning off the heat and removing them. Drain well. If using chicken wings, make two or three slits with a knife to help them absorb the flavor during braising.

   Step 2

   Prepare the seasonings: twice the amount of light soy sauce as dark soy sauce, and an appropriate amount of oyster sauce. Pour them all into a bowl, add a little salt, pepper, and cumin powder as needed... and add appropriate amounts of scallions, ginger, and garlic as well.

   Step 3

   Heat oil in a pan, add white sugar (rock sugar is also fine), and once the sugar has melted, add the chicken feet or chicken wings and stir-fry until they change color... Then add the scallions, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry briefly.

   Step 4

   Prepare the side ingredients; there are several I can't name, but they're basically for stewing meat or something.

   Step 5

   Stir-fry dried chilies, Sichuan peppercorns, scallions, ginger, and garlic together in a pot. Then pour in the prepared sauce and stir-fry for three to four minutes. Add water, just enough to cover the chicken feet and wings.

   Step 7

   Since the chicken wings were pre-boiled, you only need to adjust the stewing time as needed. I boiled them on high heat for about five minutes after adding all the ingredients and then turned off the heat... The taste was really amazing!
