Chinese Style Deep Fried Chicken Wings

Submitted by Tim_John

"These Chinese style deep fried chicken wings use a special ingredient called “fermented bean curd“ to enhanced it’s flavor. Fermented bean curd is also known as “tofu cheese”. I know a lot of Western people are scared about tofu so tofu cheese probably sounds horrendous but for a lot of Eastern people it’s like a delight from heaven."

ingredients

• 15 chicken wings

• Marinate

• 1⁄2 cup light soy sauce
• 2 chunks tofu cheese
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice wine
• 1 spring onion, chop finely
• 2 garlic cloves, chop finely
• 2 pieces ginger, chop finely
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• some black pepper

directions

1. Mix all the marination ingredients in a big bowl evenly and add the chicken wings. Use your hand to gently massage the chicken wings with the marination to ensure the marinade covers the chicken wings evenly. If you have any excess marination on the chicken be sure to gently brush this off with your hand.
2. Marinade the chicken wings for 1 hour at least.
3. Heat up the oil to around 180 degrees. Deep fry the chicken wings until they have turned a light golden brown color.
