Tips for Preparing Chicken Feet Souse
- An alternative to cooking the chicken foot souse recipe is to boil water and dip them for about 10 minutes, then discard the water. That gets rid of the film and the foamy stuff. This way, you can use the calcium-rich broth as a soup.
- For a spicy taste, add more hot pepper. Add other herbs like thyme, ginger, green onions, cilantro, white vinegar, and complete seasoning for taste. Use lemon juice if you don’t have lime.
- You can use pigtail or cow feet for souse recipes for varied flavors. If you’re using cow feet, it’s ideal to use a pressure cooker since cow feet take longer to cook.
- Microwave the chicken feet souse for 2 minutes if you don’t like it cold. Store the rest in an airtight container and refrigerate.
