Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 500g of boneless chicken feet. Rinse them thoroughly under running water. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a small amount of soju (Korean rice wine) if you have it, and blanch the chicken feet for about 5 minutes. This step helps remove any gamey odor and results in a cleaner taste. After blanching, rinse the chicken feet under cold water and drain them well.
Step 2
Next, take a stir-fry pan and add the blanched chicken feet. Now, add all the sauce ingredients and mix well with your hands, ensuring the chicken feet are evenly coated. The sauce ingredients are: 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp gochujang, 3 Tbsp gochugaru, 2.5-3 Tbsp oligo당 (adjust the sweetness to your preference), a pinch of black pepper, 3 Tbsp mirin, 5 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp Capsaicin hot sauce (use if you like it very spicy, otherwise substitute with chili oil), and 1 Tbsp cooking oil. Marinate the chicken feet for a bit to let the flavors meld.
Step 3
While the chicken feet are marinating, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice half an onion. Slice 8 cloves of garlic into thin slivers. Slice 3 Cheongyang chili peppers diagonally for a nice kick of heat. Also, have 5 Tbsp of chopped green onion ready. These colorful vegetables will add wonderful flavor and texture to your stir-fry.
Step 4
Add the marinated chicken feet to the stir-fry pan. Pour in 50ml of water and stir. Cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Then, add the prepared sliced onion, garlic slivers, and diagonally sliced Cheongyang chilies. Continue to stir-fry until the vegetables soften slightly and the onion becomes translucent. Finally, add 5 Tbsp of chopped green onion, a drizzle of sesame oil, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds to finish. **Crucial tip! Taste the stir-fry at the end and adjust the seasoning to your liking by adding more salt, sugar, or any of the sauce ingredients if needed!** This completes your delicious, spicy, and sweet boneless chicken feet stir-fry, perfect for melting away stress!
