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.

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...

Canned braised pork belly (罐头扣肉）

  A must-have dish for the Lunar New Year is steamed braised pork ( 扣肉 ). Some people enjoy making braised pork with yam, while others prefer to use preserved veggies. The key to making braised pork is to boil the meat first, then deep-fry it, and finally steam it. The sauces are the key to enhancing the flavour of the braised pork with either yam or preserved veggies. Of course, choosing pork that is half-fat and lean pork belly tastes the best is also crucial.   You can choose how thinly you want the pork slices. I sliced my pork to a thinness of 10 to 15 mm thinness.  Another crucial tip is to just use wine and no water when preparing the braised pork. I'm using Shaoxing wine, and it's been proven that the more wine you use, the tastier and more fragrant the meat will be and that the meat will remain fragrant after stewing. As I mentioned, this braised pork needs to boil first, then be deep-fried.  For those who find frying meat is very troublesome , you can w...

Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert (白果腐竹薏米糖水)

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso...
