Braised Duck Web

This irresistible Braised Duck Feet recipe delivers tender, flavorful bites with a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Duck feet are first blanched to remove impurities, then caramelized with granulated sugar for a rich golden hue. Aromatic spices like star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves infuse depth, while ginger and scallions add a fresh kick. The magic happens when the duck feet simmer in a blend of light and dark soy sauce, creating a glossy, thick glaze that clings to every bite. The result? Fall-off-the-bone tenderness with a bold, umami-packed sauce. Perfect as a appetizer or paired with steamed rice, this dish showcases traditional braising techniques for an unforgettable texture and taste. A must-try for lovers of rich, slow-cooked flavors!
