This easy duck feet recipe is full of savory and rich flavor! Braised duck feet are a delicacy, and the meat is so flavorful and fall-off-the-bone tender. In this recipe, duck feet are slowly cooked in a braising liquid made with chicken broth and a handful of aromatic ingredients like star anise, garlic, ginger, and oyster sauce. It's a Chinese-style duck recipe that is so delicious served with steamed rice or noodles!
Make sure the duck feet are cleaned properly. Blanch them in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes to remove any impurities. Drain and set aside.
In a suitable pot, combine water or chicken stock with the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, ginger slices, minced garlic, and star anise. Bring this mixture to a simmer.
Add the blanched duck feet to the pot. The liquid should cover the feet. Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the feet are tender to your liking.
Once the duck feet are tender, check the seasoning of the liquid and adjust if necessary. For a thicker sauce, you can remove the duck feet and reduce the sauce over higher heat before pouring it over the feet. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro before serving.
Notes
Store cooked duck feet in the fridge, preferably in the air tight container. It will stay fresh for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave.
