Refreshing lemongrass chicken feet





Every part of the chicken makes a delicious dish. Do you agree? Chicken feet, wings, and necks are also quite popular in addition to chicken. Such treats can be found at numerous food stalls. Even though the meat on chicken feet is not particularly flavorful, I find that the more I eat, the more I want to lick my fingers at the end. 

Chicken feet can be eaten in a variety of ways. Chicken feet broth, braised, soup, fried, cold dish, sweet and sour, and more variations are all available. The taste of the chicken feet is excellent regardless of the cooking method.

There was once my husband, and I went to visit my brother and I made one or two dishes there. Lemongrass chicken feet was one of the dishes that I made that day. I was initially concerned that they wouldn't enjoy this cold food because not everyone enjoys cold food. My nephew commented that the taste was bland. That was because I prepared the chicken feet in a tray overnight.  The sauce is entirely at the bottom. The ate without stopping after I stirred well the chicken feet.


The cold chicken feet are hard to taste. It's not like the stewed chicken feet that will be boiled in the brine. The cold chicken feet are just mixed in the seasoning, so it often tastes unappetizing. If you want to add chicken feet to taste, the most correct way should be to boil the chicken feet first in boiling water, wait for the chicken feet to be cooked, then dry them, and then put them into the seasoning that has been prepared and stir. Then cover the chicken feet with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator overnight and the taste will be better the next day.

Chicken feet will take an hour or longer to soften when cooked and boiled on the stovetop. It only took me twenty-five minutes to cook it in a pressure-cooker. I soaked the cooked chicken feet in a bowl of ice water after cooking to give them a springier flavour.


Chicken feet consist of skin, cartilage, tendons, and bones. They are rich in collagen, the most prevalent protein in your body, even though they don't contain much meat. This spicy and sour lemongrass chicken feet is extremely refreshing and appetizing, the recipe is simple and straight forward, and one of the best made ahead dish that you will not get tired of eating every day.

Steamed Spareribs With Sand Ginger （沙姜蒸排骨）

Steamed spareribs with sand ginger is a delicious Cantonese dish. The main ingredients are spareribs and sand ginger. Sand ginger, also known as galangal, is a spicy spice that adds a unique flavor to this dish. It is one of four types of galangals, a rhizome in the ginger family. Fresh sand ginger is paler in color on the inside and woodier and coarser in texture than standard ginger. As a result, it is more difficult to peel and grate.  So, I just cleaned it with a tiny brush and chopped it with the skin. Fresh sand ginger might not be available at other places, so they will powder form instead. When dried, the flavor becomes a little less intense. I love how the fresh sand ginger tastes when combined with other spices or ingredients to create the sauce for meat. Apart from the ribs, I also add glass noodles and yuba or dried tofu skin. The ribs, glass noodles and dried tofu skin absorb all the sauce, enhanced by the flavor of sand ginger and oyster sauce. You can use san...

Easy Apple Tart With Almond Cream

This apple tarts made with frangipane or almond cream, and apples. It’s delicate, beautiful, and most importantly, delicious. The combination of apples, almonds, and cinnamon creates a warm and delightful dessert. Excellent while still warm from the oven, at room temperature, or even cold. The tart itself is buttery and crunchy. It is simple to make, and you don’t need a food processor or hand mixer. The key is that the butter is COLD. I cut it into small cubes and keep it in a freezer for 10 minutes which is much simpler to incorporate into the flour mixture. The almond cream or Frangipane is simple to prepare, and you can make it a day ahead with only a few ingredients. Spread the almond cream over the prebaked pie crust which adds a wonderful flavor, but it also acts as a shield to prevent the apple juices from penetrating into the crust. I am using a 24cm round and removable pie try or tart pan for making this apple tart. It is one of the staple pieces of equipment in my kitc...

Nyonya Sticky Rice Dumplings

This is my version of Nyonya Zongzi. The taste is very different from salty meat Zongzi. When the first time I taste it, it is incredibly tasty, it’s slightly spicy but not too sweet. It has a strong spice flavor due to the fact that of using whole coriander and white peppercorns which were toasted and grinded into powder form. The biggest difference between the regular Zongzi and Nyonya Zongzi is in the filling -- one’s savory while the other's sweet. The regular salty Zongzi normally includes pork belly in a big piece, mushrooms, dried shrimp, chestnuts and salted duck eggs. And include a lit bit of five spice powder for some fragrance. The Nyonya Zongzi includes braised minced pork, dried shrimps, candied winter melon, and the strong spice from the whole grinded coriander seeds and white peppercorns is the key to the greatest flavor. And it comes with a blend of sweet and savory, with aromatic spice notes and a hint of sweetness. The blue and off-white appearance with a ...
