【药材鸡爪】Steamed Chinese Herbal Chicken Feet

春节的时候和朋友约了去一家港式早茶店吃点心，点了这道药材鸡爪，我非常喜欢。就试着在家做一次，我觉得自己做的更好吃呢！

I went to a Dim Sum place nearby with some friends during the Chinese New year. We ordered this herbal chicken feet and I really like it a lot. 

I try making it at home few days back and I think my version tastes better!

1 盒 鸡爪

4. 撒入枸杞趁热淋入米酒或者法国郎酒，即可食用。喜欢汤汁浓点的可以大火收汁。

1. Cut off the nails of the chicken feet and add a large spoonful of all purpose flour and a small spoonful of salt and mix with the chicken feet, massage the chicken feet for a few minutes to remove impurities, rinse with cool water several times, drain and set aside.

2. Add the marinade to the chicken feet and marinate for at least one hour.

3. Wash the Codonopsis pilosula, angelica, Chinese yam, Polygonatum odoratum, and red dates, add them to a cooking pot with half a pot of water, bring to a rolling boil, then turn to low and cook for 15 minutes.

4. Add the marinated chicken feet into the pot and bring to a boil again, turn to medium heat to cook for 45-50 minutes.
