Steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce
Every time I go to Guangdong for business, I order a delicious local snack "Steamed Chicken Feet with Black Bean Sauce" when I have morning tea in the morning. Whenever the waiter serves me a small cage of fat chicken feet, it makes me salivate. I have been to Guangzhou so many times, but I can't get enough of it. When the chicken feet are served on the table, I always have to put aside other delicacies first. Come and taste this chicken feet, the feeling of separating the bones and meat with a gentle sip on the entrance, and the rich soy bean aroma and smooth taste. Hehe, what a treat!
"Phoenix feet" are actually "chicken feet" and are very common materials. However, after the wonderful processing and careful preparation of several condiments by Guangdong masters, the taste has become surprisingly fragrant and delicious. It can be called delicious in the world!
Many northerners always think that chicken feet are not delicious with only tendons and no meat. In fact, it's just that they have never met a good master, and of course they feel that they won't taste delicious! If you have visited Guangzhou's famous Panxi Restaurant and tasted the morning tea there, you will immediately change your opinion. Hehe, it is so delicious!
Making "chicken feet" is not that simple. It requires several preparation processes and initial processing before being steamed in cages. Whether the chicken feet are delicious or not depends on the early processing. The chicken feet must be screened during the purchase process. After buying them, they must be soaked, soaked in water, trimmed, fried, re-soaked, braised, stir-fried in sauce, and pickled. Only then can they be put on the cage for steaming. No matter which process is reduced, the chicken feet produced will lack taste and taste.
There are two types of sauces for pickled chicken feet, one is "lily sauce" and the other is "black bean sauce". Just making these two pickled sauces requires the use of more than a dozen condiments and auxiliary sauces. Only the sauce will do. Of course, these sauces do not need to be fried every time. They are usually made in advance. You only need to use them to pickle the chicken feet. These families keep it confidential. Usually, the master handles the sauce himself when frying, and the apprentice is busy when curing. He will never easily teach the method of making sauce to outsiders. It will take quite a while for the apprentice to learn it.
It's not so complicated to make this "steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce" at home, but it also needs to be close to other people's production processes.

    Characteristics of this dish: red and red color, rich soy bean aroma, complete skin, melt immediately in the mouth, smooth taste, mellow taste; warm tips;1. It is best to dry the chicken claw skin dry before frying, so as to prevent it from splashing in the oil pan. It is better to make it safe to make it at home. If you fry it in a big pot in a restaurant, you can directly put it in the pan. 2. The oil temperature should not be too low, and 70% of the hot oil temperature is better. Since the chicken feet are materials with high colloidal content, if the oil temperature is too low, it will easily stick to the pan and break the skin. The chicken feet made will be sold in terms of appearance. Deeply discounted, if you need to put the pan to be set immediately, it proves that the oil temperature is the best. 3. During early production, pay attention to the process of overcooling and rinsing several times to make the meat rotten and tight, which is both beautiful and delicious. 4. If you don't like spicy food when marinating, don't put chili oil in it. This is up to you to flexibly control. The amount of Sanhe oil should not be too small. It is advisable to use about 30-40 grams per catty of chicken feet. If the chicken feet steamed with too little oil, the skin of the chicken feet will not be bright and will not look good. After steaming, if there is too much oil, you can be decanted and left for mixing. It tastes very good, and the cold dishes will be very fragrant, haha! 5. The final steaming time should be flexibly controlled. In the early stage, if the chicken feet are stewed until they are soft and rotten, it only needs to be steamed for 10-15 minutes. If you are not sure about the chicken feet skin will break and the stewed will be slightly hard, then the steaming time should be extended when steaming. Usually, restaurants can serve the table in 10 minutes, so there is no need to be harsh at home.
