- Bring water to boil in your steamer pot or a wok. Place a steamer liner on steamer and gently place clean chicken feet on top of steamer liner. Cover with a lid and steam for 1 hour or until chicken feet is fall-off-bone tender.
- Meanwhile make sauce by blending all ingredients for sauce in a hand blender. Set aside.
- Remove chicken feet form steamer and toss in sauce while it’s still hot so it will absorb flavor well. Use plastic glove if you’re using hands or a spoon.
