Author: Wei @ Red House Spice

Serving Size: 4 persons

Ingredients

· 10 chicken wings

· 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

· 5 slices ginger

· 1 tablespoon whole white peppercorns

· 300ml (1.25 cups) hot water

"Times New Roman";">2 teaspoons dark soy sauce (see note 1)

· 1/2 teaspoon salt

· Chopped chive and fresh chilli (for garnishing, optional)

Instructions

1. Wash the chicken wings throughly in cold water. Dry them with kitchen paper. Chop each chicken wing into 3 pieces by cutting its 2 joints).

2. Gently crush the white peppercorns with the side of a knife to open them up a bit (but they should be still in the original shape).

3. Put oil, ginger and white peppercorns in a wok (or a pot). Fry on a medium high heat until fragrant.

4. Place the chicken pieces in the wok. Stir fry until they are slightly brown.

5. Add hot water, dark soy sauce and salt. Bring the water to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes on a low heat with the lid on. Give everything a quick stir. Then put the lid back on and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.

6. Garnish with chive and fresh chilli before serving if you wish (see note 2).

Notes

1. You may replace dark soy sauce with light soy sauce. If you do so, the finished dish will look lighter in colour but the taste won't change that much.

2. You can serve it hot as a main dish. It tastes equally nice as a cold finger snack.
