So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Dish: Chinese Roasted Chicken Wings

By Santa Bruns


Chinese Chicken Wings

Dear Recipe Goldmine Pals,

I ultimately got this recipe down! As a few of you could know, I didn't get it around the 1st attempt (sob, wrong ratios and a great deal of leftovers); it proved to become elusive like that Chinese lemon chicken recipe I posted on TSR a couple of months ago (took 4 times--LOL).

The components in this recipe are simple and the wings are scrumptious (even my daughter, who never ever eats flappers (the bony component from the wing, asked for seconds). Should you don't consist of them within a primary meal, they would most likely make tasty celebration appetizers. Hope you appreciate 'em.

Regards,

Cookin' Dad

P.S. Next, I'm going to attempt a Chinese fried wing recipe. Another elderly Chinese lady gave me a recipe orally, but with no ratios. I'll see if there are lots of leftovers when I make them (LOL).

30 chicken wings (flappers only)

2 tablespoons cooking oil

1 tablespoon finely minced ginger

1 tablespoon finely minced garlic

1/4 cup minced green onions

1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2/3 cup rice wine

1 cup soy sauce

three tablespoons brown sugar *

* Mix this with SOY SAUCE until partially dissolved.

Heat wok and add oil. When oil is hot, add garlic, ginger, green onions and red pepper flakes. Fry for about 15-20 seconds, stirring and being cautious to not burn garlic.

Next, add wings and cook for handful of minutes until light brown. Also it is crucial throughout this part of cooking cycle to produce confident wings get coated with garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and green onion.

Next, pour rice wine over wings and stir them for 1-2 minutes prior to adding the brown sugar/soy sauce mixture. Stir for about 1 minute to make sure wings are evenly coated. Turn down fire a little, cover wok and simmer wings for about 20 minutes, removing lid and stirring each and every three minutes or so. It's Very Critical to produce sure that whenever you stir, the wings around the bottom of the wok are stirred towards the top to ensure that the sauce flavor will probably be evenly distributed.

At the finish from the 20 minute simmering cycle, eliminate lid from wok and turn up heat just a little bit. Stir wings each minute or so. Cook wings until they have glazed look (about five to ten minutes). Serve with white rice.

NOTE: Any added sauce leftover in wok could be spooned over rice. You could also most likely make whole chicken wings (use about 12-13 and lengthen simmering time possibly 10-15 minutes to enable flavors to penetrate meaty element of wing).
