Hello ladies! Thank you for another wonderful recipe. My mom and I really enjoy your videos and your recipes. Would you have any suggestions how to make 족 탕 ? We saw cow feet in a local international grocery and she remembers enhoying it, but we have no idea how to prepare! Help us please :) I am sure Halmony has tried it before.
