Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken feet
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3 stalks green onions
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the 1 lb chicken feet and trim any rough nails. In a pot, add the feet and cover with cold water; bring to a boil, then drain and rinse. This cleans them and removes excess fat.

  2. 2

    In the same pot, combine the 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp gochujang, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 cup water. Stir until the gochujang dissolves.

  3. 3

    Add the blanched chicken feet to the sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the feet are tender and the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes. The sauce should cling to the feet and the skin should be glossy.

  4. 4

    Slice the 3 green onions into thin rounds. Stir half into the pot and cook for 1 minute more. Serve hot, garnished with the remaining green onions.
