Preparation

Trim the claws off the chicken feet, deep-fry 8 min in hot oil until the skin blisters and turns golden.
Plunge the feet immediately into a bowl of ice water: the thermal shock makes the skin burst open (the desired texture).
Boil the feet 10 min in water, drain.
Fry garlic and mashed fermented black beans in oil, add soy sauce, sugar and ginger.
Add the chicken feet, coat well in the sauce, cover with water.
Simmer over low heat 45 min covered, until the skin is very tender and gelatinous.
Plate in a small steamer bowl, coat with the reduced sauce, serve very hot as dim sum.
