A traditional Cantonese dish: duck feet slow-braised in a clay pot until tender, then finished with a glossy oyster sauce gravy that delivers a rich, savory oyster aroma.

Instructions
Preparing the duck feet
Remove the skin and claws from the duck feet, rub evenly with 30 g of refined salt, rinse and let dry, then coat evenly with 10 g of soy sauce.
Braising the duck feet
Heat a wok over high heat, add 15 g of oil, then add ginger, scallions, and duck feet and briefly stir-fry. Pour in the Shaoxing wine, add 15 g of soy sauce, and transfer everything to a clay pot lined with a bamboo mat. Add the oyster sauce, star anise, dried tangerine peel, 20 g of soy sauce, 10 g of refined salt, 3 g of MSG, 5 g of sugar, and water to taste. Cover and braise over medium heat for about 70 minutes, until tender.
Thickening the sauce
Remove the braised duck feet. Thicken the remaining sauce in the pot with the wet starch and drizzle it over the duck feet before serving.
