Cooking tips 💡

• Peanut butter is the key kick that maximizes the flavor of the soy sauce and neutralizes any gamey odor from the chicken feet.
• Adding dark soy sauce (laochou) gives the dish the appetizing, deep reddish-black color you see in restaurants.
• If you want a spicy kick, add plenty of Vietnamese chili peppers or cheongyang chili peppers during the simmering stage.
