Broccoli Chicken Wings Recipe

Ingredients:

• 12 chicken wings (about 1 kg)
• 1-1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
• oil for frying
• 1 green onion, cut into 6 pieces
• 6 slices ginger root
• 1 bunch broccoli

Sauce:

• 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• dash of black pepper
• 1 cup water

Thickener:

• 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1 Tbsp water

Cooking Instructions:

1. Cut and separate the wings at the joints, discard the tip or use for chicken stock. Clean the wings and pat them dry.
2. Combine chicken wings and soy sauce in a bowl. Mix them well. Marinate for 20-30 minutes.
3. While the wings are marinating, cut and separate the broccoli florettes. Wash well and steam for 3-4 minutes or until just about cooked. Line the sides of a serving plate with the cooked broccoli. Set aside.
4. Heat wok then add oil. Deep fry wings until golden brown (about 5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
5. Remove oil from the wok. Reheat the wok and add 1 Tbsp oil. Stir-fry the onions and ginger root until fragrant.
6. Add wings and sauce; bring to boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup.
7. Add thickener; stir until sauce has thickened. Dish up on the serving plate with broccoli. Serve.
