Chicken Feet!

How to make black bean steamed chicken feet!

Like at yum cha, but without frying!

Get your feet and cut off all the nails.

Then fast boil for 30-35 minutes

then cover in soy sauce. It needs to be dark, so i used double premium soy, and dark mushroom soy.

then leave them, turning occasionally, to soak it all up.

Then mix a few drops of sesame oil, 2 generous teaspoons of blackbean paste and 2 tspoons of mushroom sauce. Add half a finely cut chilli. (to taste)

Here i am just finishing off 3. Put into a bowl, then into a steamer. Steam for at least 15-20 minutes, gathering a fair bit of water in the bowl as you go.

Then mix a bit of corn flour and cold water and add to thicken the sauce. Transfer to serving bowl, spoon over sauce, and eat!

pineapple and chicken fried rice - looks good huh! That was Kate's creation.

This is chinese prawn and egg. 250g of peeled and deveined prawns (washed with corn starch, salt and water), I wuick boil them to half cook them. Then mix 6 eggs with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and good pinch of white pepper, a few drops of sesame oil. Add a tiny bit of oil, add the white parts of 4 schallots, fry, then add the eggs. As they start to solidify, add the prawns, then just mix around like scrambled eggs. When the eggs are done, remove and garnish with the green part of the schallots. Done!
