How to Make Salted Duck Claws
Quail feet Quail claws are rich in collagen protein., and are nutritionally equivalent to bear paws of the same weight. The claw is a basic organ for movement, with many tendons, thick skin, and little meat. The more tendons it has, the chewier it is; the thicker the skin, the more broth it contains; the less meat, the easier it absorbs flavors. From a nutritional perspective, quail claws are rich in protein, low in sugar, and have little fat, so they can be considered an excellent weight-loss food. Ingredients

Stew until most of the water has evaporated, turn the feet occasionally to ensure even coloration.

Tips:
Cut off the claws of the quail feet, use simple seasonings to maintain original taste,soy sauce should not be added in large quantities; otherwise, it will become too salty after reducing the sauce. If you do not reduce the sauce, you can add more. For a spicy flavor, you can add chili peppers together; for a sweet taste, you can add some sugar, but personally, I think soy sauce has a slight sweetness and no additional sugar is needed.Dessert Sweetness can be added with sugar, but I prefer to leave it out as soy sauce has a hint of sweetness.
