Spicy braised chicken feet

Ingredients:
20 pieces chicken feet
6 dried chillie (rinsed and cut into sections)
2 tbsp salted soya bean (chopped)
6 slices old ginger
6 pip garlic (peeled and leave whole)
2 stalks lemongrass (shred finely)
2 star anise

Seasoning:
2 tbsp light soya sauce
1 tsp dark soya sauce
1 tbsp caster sugar
water

Methods:

1. Wash, pat dry with kitchen towel and deep-fry till golden brown.  Dish and drain.
2. Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a wok, saute salted soya bean in low heat for a minute, then add in the rest of the other ingredients and fry well till fragrant.
3. Add in chicken feet and give it a quick stir-fry, then add in seasoning.  For the water, put enough to cover over the chicken feet.  More can be added during braising. Turn to high heat and once it comes to a boil off the heat and transfer to a deep clay pot and continue braising with lid on.
4. Taste for correct seasoning, if you prefer more seasoning, sprinkle some salt to continue braising till chicken feet is soft and the sauce has reduced.
5. Serve hot with white rice.

Note:  If you prefer the sauce to be slurry, thicken with a bit of corn flour mixture.  I have about 1/3 cup of extra sauce, so I serve it separately in a small bowl.
