Effects of Chicken Feet Stew with Black Beans

According to Lao Dong newspaper, citing Thealthbenefitsof, a study conducted by the Department of Veterinary Medicine, Chung-Hsing University, Taiwan, shows that chicken feet contain a very high amount of collagen, similar to the collagen found in leafy green vegetables and fruits. Collagen is one of the essential substances needed to maintain skin elasticity, help the body absorb calcium, and various proteins.

In addition, chicken feet also contain important nutrients such as protein, calcium, and collagen, which help strengthen bone structure and prevent brittle bone diseases. Therefore, adding chicken feet to the daily diet from a young age will help prevent bone-related diseases in old age.

Besides, black beans, in addition to helping maintain joint health, improve skin beauty, and aid in weight loss, also offer many other nutritional benefits such as helping to reduce diabetes, lower blood pressure, prevent cardiovascular diseases, stimulate digestion, reduce the risk of cancer, treat premature graying and hair loss, strengthen kidneys, prevent alcohol poisoning and help with hangovers, support the treatment of gout, and detoxify the body.

An article on the Health & Life newspaper states that black beans and chicken feet have some common benefits in improving skin beauty, maintaining joint health, and helping the body absorb calcium well. With their other nutritional values, when combined with glutinous rice to make a soup using the recipe below, it not only benefits health but also tastes delicious, making the family meals more special.

Recipe for Chicken Feet Stew with Black Beans

Ingredients:

• Chicken feet (choose fresh chicken feet for better sweetness and taste): 10 pieces

• Black beans: 300 grams (roast before cooking for better aroma)

• Glutinous rice: 100 grams

• Seasonings: Salt, seasoning powder, monosodium glutamate, fish sauce, sesame oil (a pinch of each)

Instructions:

1. Clean the chicken feet with salt and lemon juice (1 lemon) to remove any odor. Then, trim the toenails and either cut the feet in half or leave them whole according to your preference.

2. Wash the black beans thoroughly and discard any floating beans as these are underdeveloped or damaged. Then, roast the beans until fragrant, remove them, let them cool a little, and soak them in a large bowl of hot water for about 4-5 hours so they soften. This will help them cook faster when stewed (or you can put them in a thermos to reduce soaking time by half).

3. Rinse the glutinous rice, then soak it in hot water for the rice to soften. The soaking time for glutinous rice can be shorter than the black beans.

4. After the soaking time, start cooking: Add the chicken feet, black beans, and glutinous rice along with 1.2 liters of water (including the water used to soak the beans and rice) into a stew pot. Adjust the seasoning to taste and stew for 1 hour, but make sure to stir every 20 minutes.

5. When done, the soup will have a thick consistency, rich flavor, and a pleasant aroma. You can serve it with a plate of cucumber on the side for a perfect family meal. People who often suffer from joint dryness, calcification, degeneration, bone spurs, osteoporosis, and porous bones should eat this soup 2-3 times a week for better joint health, beautiful skin, and general health benefits. Wishing you success and a delicious meal.
