How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh carrots
- You should choose carrots that are straight, firm, and feel solid in your hand. The skin of fresh carrots is usually smooth and has a bright orange color.
- Additionally, you should also observe the core of the carrot. Carrots with a larger core tend to have a milder taste, while carrots with a smaller core are sweeter.
- You need to avoid buying carrots that are soft, have unusual colors, or are bruised on the body and even on the leaves.
How to choose fresh onions
- First, you should prioritize choosing round onions rather than flat and long ones.
- You should select onions with many roots, smooth skins tightly hugging the bulb, not torn, and without dark spots, as these are usually fresher, tasty, and can be stored for a long time.
- Onions with rough, loose skins that do not cling tightly to the bulb and have dark spots are often those that are diseased and no longer fresh.
- Therefore, you need to avoid buying onions that show the above signs.

Prepare the chicken feet
Put the chicken feet into a bowl after buying them. Next, add 1.5 tablespoons of salt and 1 tablespoon of vinegar, then massage the chicken feet thoroughly to eliminate the unpleasant smell of the ingredients.
Place a pot on the stove, turn on the heat, then add the chicken feet to the pot, pour in enough water to cover the chicken feet, and add a few slices of ginger.
Then, turn on the heat and add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/3 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate to the pot, then cook until the water boils for 3 – 5 minutes.
Next, you should transfer the chicken feet to a bowl of ice water to maintain the crunchiness of the ingredients.
-
Prepare the remaining ingredients
While waiting for the water to boil to thoroughly remove the odor from the chicken feet, prepare a basin of water.
Next, dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt into the basin and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into it.
Rinse the banana flower with clean water, then use a knife to slice it thinly and place it into the basin to prevent the banana flower from turning black.
After about 30 minutes, take the banana flower out and rinse it again with clean water in preparation for cooking.
How to prepare banana flower without turning black:
- First, peel off the old outer leaves of the banana flower. When you reach the tender part of the banana flower, stop peeling and start slicing or grating.
- Slice the banana flower thinly or grate it horizontally. As you slice, immediately soak the banana flower in the basin of lemon water with salt. If you hesitate, the banana flower will turn dark.
- Soak the banana flower in the basin for at least 30 minutes, then rinse it several times with water and let it drain.
- You can use vinegar, alum, or fermented rice mixed with water instead of lemon to soak the banana flower. Avoid adding too much salt when mixing the water, as the banana flower will become salty when soaked, negatively affecting the dish’s flavor.
Cilantro and Vietnamese balm should be sorted to remove any wilted or damaged leaves, then rinse the ingredients several times with clean water, let them drain, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
For chili and lemon, just wash them with water and let them drain.
Trim the roots and peel the garlic. Then, rinse it clean and let it drain.
-
Making the dressing
You put 5 cloves of garlic, 1/2 chili, and 2 tablespoons of sugar into a mortar and use a pestle to grind them finely.
Then, you add 3 tablespoons of fish sauce and 2 – 3 tablespoons of lemon juice into the mortar, depending on your and your family’s taste.
You stir well until the ingredients are blended together and the mixture in the mortar thickens.
-
Tossing the salad
You scoop out 3 – 4 tablespoons of the dressing into a separate bowl (a seasoning bowl) to make the dipping sauce for the salad.
You take the chicken feet out of the bowl, then add 4 tablespoons of the dressing, 1 teaspoon of fried onions, and sprinkle a little pepper into the bowl.
You wear gloves and start tossing, squeezing the chicken feet so that the seasoning absorbs evenly into the chicken.
Then, you continue to add the banana flower and pour all the sauce and fried onions into the bowl and mix again.
Finally, you add chopped cilantro and Vietnamese coriander into the bowl, mix well, and plate it.

How to choose fresh and delicious chicken feet:
- For water-injected chicken feet, the exterior looks quite plump, uniform, and has no wrinkles in the skin.
- If you gently squeeze with your hand, water-injected chicken feet easily become soft, and the tips at the toes gradually become swollen.
- Continuing to press lightly, the chicken feet should not be firm but rather quite soft, feeling squishy in your hand like a bag.
- Besides feeling and kneading each one, you can distinguish water-injected chicken feet through the bending and stretching of the toes.
- Natural chicken feet usually have 4 curved toes, bending inward, only swelling when held or squeezed hard.
- In contrast, water-injected chicken feet show signs of tension in the claws, with the toes distinctly separated.
How to clean chicken feet to be fresh and odor-free:
- First, wash the chicken feet with a basin of diluted saltwater, removing the membrane and the nails. Then, rinse the chicken feet with clean water.
- Next, eliminate the odor of the chicken feet once more by rubbing calamondin and vinegar on the chicken feet.
- Additionally, you can mix a little white alcohol with a few smashed ginger slices. After that, apply this mixture to the chicken feet to effectively eliminate the odor.
