I’m Cooking Again!

Sometime last week I was at the wet market near my place, picking up my regular chicken breast meat for Xiao Bi from my favourite chicken stall uncle. Just when I was about to leave, I turned around and saw some really nice chicken wings lying there. It was as if they were calling at me “Bring me home! Cook me! I’m yummy!”. So without any planning, I bought 4 chicken wings. :D

I kept one for Xiao Bi and put the rest in the freezer. And then I spent the rest of the day searching for real easy and yummy chicken wing recipe on the net. There were sooooooo many but most of them, although labeled as ‘EASY’, still need oil and wok, which I honestly don’t like. :D

I then settled myself with one of the recipes, which seemed to be extremely easy, and all I needed was chicken wing (of course), some ginger, Coke, and light soy sauce. I went out to grab a bottle of Coke and was very much ready to do the cooking a.k.a experiment. :D

Clean the chicken wing and put in a pot. Cut some ginger and put in. Add Coke, enough to cover the chicken wing. Add light soy sauce, about 1/3 of the Coke.

You’ll see something like this. Cook at high heat and turn it low, cook until the meat is tender, all all done! :)

Now here are some tips from me. My version turned out to have plenty of sauce. Something like what you can see on top. My initial intention was to have something a bit drier, with only a little bit of sauce left. I was searching around and I think you can reduce the Coke a bit – means doesn’t have to cover the chicken wing, but marinate it longer, like half an hour to one hour. And consider cooking at low heat for longer time.

I kept one piece of the chicken wing that night and happily waited for darl to come back. And the moment he opened the cover of the pot, he said:

“I don’t like this type one (with a lot of sauce).”
