Recipe • Pan-fried Oyster Sauce Chicken Wings

Image
My "anyhow" attempt on this Pan-fried Oyster Sauce Chicken Wings or 干烧蚝油鸡翅 turned out quite a hit with the boys, especially Lil K! I actually cooked 11 pieces of mid-joints (don't ask me why I cooked such an unusual number! 😅), ended up I only got to eat 1 piece! This dish is supposed to be salty savory, hence the amount of sauces... Do make minor adjustment to the seasonings if you prefer! Personally, I think it'll be even better with some red chilli slices added! But I omitted it this time because Mini K can't take spicy food yet. Maybe next time!

Besides usually served chilled, it's more like a Japanese side dish that is served with teishoku (Japanese set meal). So what is hijiki? It's a brown sea vegetables, rich in dietary fibre and essential minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium.  (Source) My boys & I love this appetizer and I usually cook in a reasonable quantity with extras to keep in the freezer. Yep, freezer. It thaws really quickly, making it a great dish to add to lunchboxes!
