香菇焖鸡脚 *Braised Chicken Feet with Mushroom

想吃香菇鸡脚很久了,但却很怕炸鸡脚。炸过鸡脚的人一定知道鸡脚一碰到油就乱跳,搞不好鸡脚还没炸熟,自己的手先给喷出来的油给烫熟了!

还好有个好老公愿意壮烈牺牲,自愿担当炸鸡脚这份差事。最后我的香菇鸡脚总算大告成功,不是想自夸,但好好吃哦!可以配饭,也可以配面。

食材
八角花..... 2 朵
鸡脚....... 大概20-25个
蒜头....... 6-8 颗
香菇....... 用自己喜欢的分量
蚝油....... 2 汤匙
老抽....... 1 汤匙
食油....... 大量
水......... 适量

法:
1. 先把买回来的鸡脚去皮去前爪,烫过热水再去一次皮,然后晾干。
2. 香菇洗干净后去蹄。可以保留一大朵香菇或切半。
3. 在大锅里装满油后,热油。要切记油一定要很热后才把鸡脚放进去炸。炸的时候得把锅盖盖起来,以防喷油伤到皮肤。如果喜欢吃嫩嫩软软的鸡脚,炸鸡脚的时间就是关键。鸡脚越炸越久,焖煮起来就会越来越嫩。
4. 鸡脚炸好后直接放到冷水里浸至皮肉离骨,有点松松的感觉。
5. 这时候再准备另一个锅,加入2-3汤匙的食油。热油了后,先把一颗颗的蒜头及八角花爆香,然后再把炸好的鸡脚和香菇一起放到锅里炒一下,加适量的水,再加蚝油和老抽。
6. 用大火把水/汁煮滚。滚开了后就调小火,慢慢把鸡脚和香菇焖软透为止。这通常会需要用到2个小时的时间。

  1. 如果先將雞腳曬乾或烘乾會比較好炸,而且會好像雲吞面的冬菇雞腳。
