A Simple Chinese Chicken Recipe

Yeah it’s been a while I know. I’ve been really busy meeting submission deadlines, a larger than usual pile on my table that I only had time to write about Lasang Pinoy. And of course a lot of extracurricular activities not to mention the amount of time I spent updating the links in this blog.

So let’s get back to what I think I do best… whipping up some quick recipes with my limited time and whatever I find inside the pantry. Ahh I found this bottle of Chinese marinade. What’s in it? Only the Chinese knows but I spent few renminbi for it. Here’s what I did with it on chicken wings and few spices.

Ingredients:
½ kilo chicken wings
4 tbsp. minced garlic
1 tbsp. crushed ginger
¼ cup chopped onion springs
1 onion, minced
1/2 cup chicken marinade
1 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
salt & pepper

Combine the above ingredients except garlic, ginger and onions. Stir chicken into the marinade and mix to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. (2 hours… yehey! Go back to work.)

Heat oil in a large skillet. Fry garlic and ginger until fragrant. Pour in the chicken and onions and stir-fry for about 5 minutes. Add reserved marinade and about ½ cup of water. Simmer for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thick. Transfer to a platter and garnish with chopped onion spring.

    Nice! I’m still here. I like your new domain. Took me a while before I found ‘Iskandal’.-even nicer eh.

    Try stir-frying chilis with the oil alongside your aromatics. It will blow your top off. Add oyster sauce/blackbean sauce to bring down the heat. Those 2 will caramelize while stir-frying. Even yummier eh.

    Later.

    It’s a very simple recipe and easy to prepare pa. Saka available ang chicken marinade dito sa supermarket so I’ll go now to buy one para makaluto na ako nito.

    Thanks !
