How it's used
Duck feet are a classic delicacy in Cantonese cuisine, often braised in a rich soy sauce mixture or served in dim sum. They are prized for their gelatinous texture rather than their meat content, making them a popular choice for those who enjoy chewing on cartilage and skin. You will frequently see them paired with mushrooms or abalone in banquet dishes.
