Why should your pooch get to eat all the good stuff? Here's a recipe for chicken feet in black bean sauce that I hear is quite tasty:

1. Rub the chicken's feet with the salt and chop off the nails.
2. Wash thoroughly, blanch in boiling water for 1 minute and drain.
3. Brush with the dark soy sauce and chop each foot into 2 sections.
4. Deep-fry in the boiling oil until golden brown and drain, keeping 1 tablespoon of oil for later use.
5. Refresh under a cold running tap and drain.
6. Pour the water into a pressure cooker.
7. Add the ginger, chives, star anises and chicken's feet and cook for 15 minutes.
8. Heat a wok with the 1 tablespoon of oil and saute the mashed garlic, black bean paste and diced chilies until fragrant.
9. Put in the chicken's feet and stir-fry thoroughly.
10. Sizzle in the wine and add all the seasoning except the corn flour and water mixture.
11. Adjust the flavor to taste.
12. Pour in the stock from the pressure cooker, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
13. Thicken the sauce with the corn flour and water mixture.
14. Serve hot.

and, of course....

15. Wash down with Tsingtao beer!
