Lemon Chicken Feet--summer Fresh Dish
1.
Fresh chicken feet are better, if not, buy chilled ones. Cut off your nails and wash them clean.
2.
The diagonal knife is divided into two, so that you can quickly taste. Two yuan should be about the same size, this is not particular.
3.
Add in water that has not had chicken feet, add a few slices of ginger, and bring to a boil.
4.
After the water is boiled, keep it on medium heat and cook for about 8-12 minutes. The shorter the cooking time, the more chewy. The longer the cooking time, the softer and rotten. Adjust according to your preferences. It will be cooked in 8 minutes, so don’t worry about it.
In the process of cooking chicken feet, you can prepare a bowl of cold water and pour it into the pot in 2-3 times. This is the legendary "three boiling three points of water", just like cooking dumplings. The chicken feet cooked in this way are more resilient.
5.
Remove the chicken feet immediately after they are cooked, and wash them in cold water. The picture in this step is accidentally deleted. Anyway, you can use cold water to cool the chicken feet and rub them to wash away the mucus on the surface.
After cooling down the chicken feet, soak it in ice water, or like me, put it in cold water with a large ice cube in the middle. Soak for at least 15 minutes, I usually soak for 45 minutes.
6.
In the process of soaking the chicken feet, you can prepare the ingredients. The characteristic of this chicken feet is that it has a light fruit and vegetable fragrance, so it is made with fresh millet pepper, fresh onion and fresh lemon.
7.
Diced diced
8.
Minced ginger, diced
9.
The peppers were cut and cut. The peppers in the picture were not enough. I made up a few more later. I am from Jiangxi, and I’m from Jiangxi who eats peppers for appetizer for breakfast.
10.
Mix the onion, ginger, and chili. Take a lemon and squeeze the lemon juice. You can squeeze the whole piece like a guy like me, or you can squeeze it slightly, it's best to filter out the lemon seeds through a mesh sieve, because the lemon seeds are a bit bitter.
11.
Squeeze like this a little bit less effort, a little lady. This lemon only needs juice.
12.
It is recommended to use light soy sauce. I use 4D soy sauce. Although it is called soy sauce, it is not very colored.
13.
I use Boring vinegar, which is more acidic and can be replaced with aged vinegar. If you don’t like to eat sour, you can use balsamic vinegar instead. Our Chinese food culture is really broad and profound. Before writing this recipe, I discussed the difference between soy sauce, light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, and the difference between Baoning vinegar, balsamic vinegar and aged vinegar with my friends. Benefited a lot.
14.
Add cooking wine, salt, sugar, sesame oil (sesame oil), and those without sesame oil can be omitted, or you can use some white sesame seeds at the end instead. Taste the sauce should be saltier, because the chicken feet will become much lighter if you mix it in .
15.
Finally, cut a little cilantro and a small lemon. Why cut them separately? If you want this dish to be beautiful, you can mix them in when you are ready to eat. If you don't want to be too troublesome, you can mix them in with onions and peppers to pickle them. Take the juice from the first lemon, and mix the second lemon slices directly, but the seeds of both lemons should be removed, because the seeds are a bit bitter, so it will affect the taste for a long time.
16.
Cut the seasonings, adjust the sauce, and the chicken feet are soaked in place. Remove and drain the water, and stir.
17.
Because there is not much sauce in the seasoning, it is often necessary to stir. I thought of a more trouble-free method. Even if you use a food ziplock bag, you can also use a fresh-keeping bag. In this way, all the soup and water are poured into the bag, squeezed a little to expel the air, and seal the mouth tightly, creating an effect similar to vacuum packaging.
18.
Find a flat plate, pat the bag, spread it out, and let the sauce wrap the ingredients as much as possible.
19.
Put the bag in the refrigerator and refrigerate. Turn the noodles when you have time, and marinate as much as possible. I usually make it tonight and eat it at noon the next day. The longer it is marinated, the more beautiful the color of the chicken feet and the brighter the color. Without filters and no toning, it looks like this is appetizing.
Tips:
1. Lemons and onions are very important and enhance the flavor. It is not recommended to replace them, and it is not recommended to omit them.
2. You can add garlic, chicken powder, pepper, and dark soy sauce to make the lemon chicken feet that suit your taste best.
3. I tried it a few times in the later period, and I think the flavor of garlic is too overwhelming, so it is not recommended to put garlic. Pepper oil is a good thing, add about 10g at the end to enhance the layering of the dishes.
