  Stew the chicken feet

  First, place 3 bowls into a steamer, then evenly distribute the ingredients including chicken feet, star anise, pepper, garlic, black beans, sliced lotus root, and flower-shaped carrots into each bowl.

  Next, season each bowl with 2/3 tablespoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 teaspoon of sugar, and add about 80ml of water so that the water just covers the surface of the ingredients.

  Finally, cover each bowl, boil about 800ml of water in a pot over high heat, then place the steamer on top and cover it. Reduce the heat to low and stew the chicken feet for about 30 minutes until the chicken feet are soft, then turn off the heat.
