Chicken Wings with Oyster Sauce
Chicken wings with oyster sauce Servings: 3-4 Ingredients:
- 12 chicken wings
- ½ lb. Chinese broccoli
- 1 green onion (sliced to ½" length)
- 1 slice ginger (diced)
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ Tablespoon rice cooking wine
Seasoning sauce #1 - 1 cup water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 pinch of Szechuan peppercorn
Seasoning sauce #2 - 2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
- ¼ Tablespoon sesame oil
- ½ Tablespoon cooking oil
Cornstarch paste - ½ Tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ Tablespoon water
Directions: Cut the chicken wings in halves at the joint to make 24 pieces. Marinate the wings with 1 Tablespoon of soy sauce for at least 15 minutes. Then stir fry the wings in a wok until they appear golden. Remove them into a bowl for use later. Cut the Chinese broccoli into about 3 inches long pieces. Put them in boiling water, add ½ teaspoon of salt, and mix gently for 1 minute (or when they turn bright green). Remove them from the wok, and "shock" the Chinese broccoli by dipping it in cold water briefly (this makes sure the Chinese broccoli retains the bright green color, instead of turning brown, which ruins the presentation of the dish). Line them up on the serving plate in any decorative pattern you prefer. Heat up the wok on high, then pour in 1 Tablespoon of cooking oil. Stir fry the green onion and minced ginger for 10 seconds, then add the chicken wings and ½ Tablespoon of rice cooking wine.Add the seasoning sauce #1, cover up the wok with the lid. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes.Turn the heat back on high after 15 minutes, add the seasoning sauce #2 and gently stir. When the dish heats up, add the cornstarch paste and gently stir until it's thickend. Transfer into a plate and serve.Helen Fan grew up in a family that has owned various Asian restaurants all over North America, from Vancouver (Canada), Houston (Texas), Decatur (Illinois), to Chicago (Illinois).

Chocolate Tasting Techniques
First of all start with an empty stomach. This has never been too much of a stretch for me, I am always willing to sample chocolate before dinner. Next, have the chocolate at the recommended 66-77 °F. Finally allow the chocolate to sit in your mouth for a few moments. This will help to release the principal flavors and aromas. After the chocolate has set for a few moments chew it slightly to release the secondary aromas. Resting the chocolate against the roof of your mouth will allow all the flavors to be enjoyed.
