Braised Chicken Feet

Chinese food delightfulness and this Indian lady? Oh-yes please. We have already bonded and we will mind you, remain forever as best friends (Fried Lotus Root Chips, Fried Shrimp Wantons, Salted Egg Chicken, Chinese Fried Rice & Chinese Prawn Fritters). Now and forever and for the longest time. Anything Chinese goes for me. Simple, easy-preasy and even lazily put together dishes (Hong Kong Style Steamed Fish) or more elaborated ones (Chinese Chicken Meatball Soup, Chicken Wanton Soup, Sesame Chicken & Sweet Chilli Chicken) and today, according to my cooking technic, it is a time taking cooking. Especially for ensuring chicken feet is cooked to its tenderness. Chicken Feet? Remember, I have already told you before (Chicken Feet Kerabu/Salad)? So, lemme get to the recipe instead of dwelling on chicken, which part, which you fancy, so on and so forth (Baked Cornflakes Chicken). Super moist, super succulent chicken soaking in tadbit bit of gravy/sauce, made with the quintessential Chinese ingredients (Chick Kut Teh, Chap Chai/Mixed Vegetable Stew & Chinese Black Vinegar Chicken).    

 Ingredients
10 pieces chicken feet - thoroughly washed 
4 dried chillies
Spices - 2-3 cinnamon sticks, 1 star anise and 2 cloves
1 inch ginger - sliced thinly
5 garlic - sliced thinly 
1 can (400g) button mushrooms - drained out the water
Oil as needed
Spring onion for garnishing

For the Seasoning
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp thick soy sauce
1 tbsp light  soy sauce
1 tsp brown sugar
Drops of sesame oil 

Method:
Deep fry chicken feet in oil  for a crispy outer layer.
Dish out and rinse off the oil with water.  
Then soak in water for 1 1/2 hours and drain off. 
Heat 2 tbsp of oil and when heated, saute ginger, dried chillies and spices. 
Add in chicken feet and pour about 1/2 liter of water.
Add all the seasoning and simmer over low heat to soften feet.
(Note; it will take quite a while) 
Add mushrooms and continue to simmer, another 2 to 3 minutes. 
Garnish with spring onion before serving.

    Interesting! I've never cooked with chicken feet, my first live encounter was earlier this year in China, where they come in vacuum sealed snack packs and are super popular. I'll have to admit it was very hard to get used to for me...

    I'm not one for chicken feet, but I've heard of them and lots of folks like them. I guess I'd give it a try if we were sitting together!

    Hi Nava. Thanks for following and commenting. Yes, Liverpool FC sign with Turkish Tourism, but Manchester United has signed a multi-million pound sponsorship deal with Turkish Airlines as FC Barcelona. So, there is no problem. :)

Malaysian Sodhi (Indian Coconut Milk Stew)

Sodhi. Coconut milk infused and laced ( Shrimp Coconut Milk ) Indian coconut stew. In fact, sodhi is the branching of  Masak Lemak ( Vegetarian Malay Spinach Coconut Stew ), or vice-versa or whichever. Sodhi is definitely a popularity amongst the Indians and without a doubt, in my house as well. Sodhi is usually drenched over rice, and eaten alongside side dishes. Trust me, nothing like sodhi soaking or flooding up your rice and then, using your hands for mushy-mushy diving inside eating style. Sodhi. Like, every once a week in my house. In other words, a regularity and it is a dish that can be put up effortlessly. Needless to say, easy cooking and mind you, there are other variances of sodhi too, which I have already shared before ( Malu Kirata , Kiri Hodi , Prawn Sodhi & Cabbage Sodhi ). This latest sodhi? Basically, the humble, basic simplicity, but why a Malaysian Sodhi? Well, Cooked by this “The Crazy Lover” who is a typical, true and true Malaysian, and cooked in her, most o

Mochakottai Karuvadu Kulumbu (Field Beans Salted Fish Curry)

Look at this earthen pot and in it thick, salty, spicy and vibrantly exciting to our palates and eyes  Mochakottai Karuvadu Kulumbu (Field Beans Salted Fish Curry). Like immediately can trigger our hunger throne right? I know. I am definitely a big fan of this Indian style salted fish curry and salted fish on the whole by itself ( Spicy Ikan Bilis Potato , Sambal Tumis Ikan Bilis  &  Sambal Kentang Ikan Asin ), can drive me crazy because I so love saltiness. In fact, every day can be a salted fish meal day for me ( Salted Fish Pickle , Bean Sprouts Salted Fish  & Steamed Pork Salted Fish ). But, I think we all know it? Too much of saltiness and salt can ruin our health? Of course. Then again, there is such a thing as every now and then saltiness as our best friend? How do make this salted fish curry? Nothing much, no major confusing cooking matter ( Salted Fish Bone Curry ). My recipes as always will never cause you to struggle in the kitchen. Ingredients listed below

Restoran Orkid Thai - Section 9, Shah Alam

By the third day, Iphone 7 started showing its dark side. Really a terrifying-horrible shocking discovery, it kept rebooting every now and then for no apparent reason. Obviously, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Duh! Its a brand new phone I paid from  my savings ( Da De Bak Kut Teh Subang Jaya ), never ever have I encountered such a problem with my previous faithfully yours 6 year old Iphone 5. Absolutely heart wracking, I really couldn’t find the time ( Karaikudi Chicken Curry & Fikcles Cafe Taman Tun ) to rush to the service centre amidst the busyness of getting ready for the family wedding and another travel venture ( Oats Fried Prawn s ). Keeping my fingers crossed, hoping it’s just a minor teething problem, I went ahead with shopping nearby Plaza Shah Alam and Plaza Masalam. Accompanied by my niece, we bought a couple of things and then of course, naturally, shopping is more or less regarded as synonymous with hunger throne.
