You may laugh all you want. You will soon be convinced that this is the best part of the duck after you taste it.
- 20 pairs of duck feet
- 2 cups chopped bamboo shoots
- 2 cups mushrooms. Cut the larger ones
- 2 cups water chestnuts cut into thin pieces
(a) Wash thoroughly 20 pairs of duck feet and plunge them into boiling water for 3 minutes. Take off the skin. Take out all bones without spoiling the shape of the feet. Cut each foot into 2 pieces.
(b) Cut into small pieces the bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and water chestnuts.
(c) Have a hot stove. Oil the frying-pan and fry the feet for 5 minutes. Add salt and the bamboo shoots, chestnuts and mushrooms. Continue to fry for 5 minutes after having mixed well.
