Looking for foods to try and share a bit of my own culture. My family is cantonese viet and I grew up eating in a lot of traditional banquet hall restaurants. Usually these are dim sum menu for lunch and traditional shared foods for dinner. Most people have tried the common ones like siu mai (pork wrapper dumpling) and haw gow (shrimp rice dumpling) but my favorites are the uncommon ones like ngau zaap (beef offal) and baak wan fung zaau (pickled chicken feet).

Ngau zaap is basically braised brown sauce using off cuts, usually stomach and whatnot, with chinese radish. Its very savory, kinda like if you made an asian gravy.

Baak wan fung zaau is just chicken feet pickled in white vinegar. If you had pickled radish it's essentially the same pickling and the chicken feet is gelatinous and a bit crunchy. You can also get them sometimes boneless since eating around the bones is kinda a pain. I really like pickled foods so this is one of my faves

Lmao I’m just imagining boneless chicken feet… like… they are 90% bones…

[–] Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

It's a little hard to find an example since not many places do boneless, but they do exist

This one is still pickled but more of a northern style afaik

Wow, I’m impressed they can do that! Thanks for sharing.

I have actually tried chicken feet at dim sum before… I think they had a sweet and savory sauce and they were not bad, though it takes some effort to eat them

Once you master eating chicken feet you mastered french kiss. It's all about the tongue.

Yea that's the other style which is a braised red sauce kinda way. TBH I don't like it as much as the pickled version, its a little too soft texture wise for my liking
