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.

  Today I will share with you how to make Malay kuih also known as “Ma Lai Gao”.   A steamed sponge cake from Malaysia, drew inspiration from British cakes. Later, Cantonese chefs modified it to become what we now know as dim sum. Traditionally, Ma Lai Gao's starter dough takes 24 hours to prepare. I'll show you how to make Ma Lai Gao quickly and easily today without losing out on texture or flavour. In fact, the appearance of “Ma Lai Kou” is very ordinary, not much different from ordinary cakes on the market, but its preparation method and texture are worth learning from. Because it is a fermented flour product, it has a soft and smooth texture. This recipe doesn't require baking, and the preparation of “Ma Lai Gao” is very simple, and the ingredients are divided into dry and wet. The wet ones are milk and eggs, while the dry ones are powdered ingredients. To put it simply, stir the wet ingredients evenly first, then slowly add the dry ingredients, ferment and then s...

Baked Cassava or Tapioca Cake （烤木薯糕）

Cassava or tapioca cake can be prepared in several methods, including baking, steaming and wrapping in banana leaves. It can be made with or without eggs and with or without butter. Today, I am going to share how to bake cassava or tapioca cake. Tapioca cake is very easy to make, whether to steam or to bake. The only tedious part is grating. I used to grate them into fine silk manually. But now I blend them with Thermomix to paste form. If you are using a regular blender, add a little water to the blender to blend it together. This cassava cake has a beautiful burnt skin on top and dense golden color inside. My daughter thought it was burnt cheesecake. The texture is soft but firm and not too sticky compared to the steam type. Every bite taste of cassava, coconut milk and the burnt aroma. Not overly sweet and greasy. If using a blender, cut the tapioca into smaller chunks, then carefully cut out the tough, fibrous core from the middle of each piece using a knife.   Once the t...

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉）

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉） – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...
