Steps
Step 1
Clean the main ingredient
Clip all claw tips from the 800 g chicken feet, rinse and check each foot is clean.
Step 2
Prepare supporting ingredients
Peel, seed and chunk the 700 g green papaya; rinse the 120 g peanuts and prepare the 4 ginger slices and 4 red dates.
Step 3
Bring water to a boil
Add 2200 ml water to a stockpot and bring it to a full boil.
Step 4
Add the main ingredient
Add all the chicken feet to the boiling water and keep the heat high.
Step 5
Return to a boil
Let the soup return to a full boil so the foam gathers on the surface.
Step 6
Skim the foam
Skim off all foam and excess fat with a ladle.
Step 7
Add supporting ingredients

Step 8
Lower the heat

Step 9
Simmer until flavorful
Maintain a gentle simmer until the chicken feet and peanuts are tender while the papaya still holds its shape.
