Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- Chicken wings 1 pack
- Soy sauce 2 tbsp
- Oyster sauce 1 tbsp
- Sugar 1 tbsp
- Vinegar 1 tbsp
- Green onion 3 stalks
- Lemongrass 1 stalk
- Thai chili (or dried chili) 5
- Minced garlic 1 tbsp
- Minced ginger 1 tbsp
- Cola 1/3 can
- Lime 1/2
- Salt a pinch
- MSG a pinch
- Grain topping a pinch
Recipe 🍳
- Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, vinegar, and MSG to make the seasoning sauce.
- Chop the white part of green onions finely for the sauce, and reserve the green part for garnish. Finely chop lemongrass and Thai chili.
- Score chicken wings deeply on both sides so the seasoning penetrates and they cook crispy.
- Heat a pan without oil, place chicken wings, sprinkle a little salt, and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides to remove moisture and fat.
- Once chicken wings are golden, reduce heat to medium, add minced garlic, minced ginger, and white parts of green onions, stir-frying to infuse the oil with aroma.
- Add chopped lemongrass and Thai chili, lightly stir-fry without burning to impart exotic fragrance.
- Turn heat to highest, pour in the prepared seasoning sauce and 1/3 can of cola, and let it simmer gently.
- Stir continuously until the sauce is fully reduced and coats the chicken wings with a glossy glaze.
- Plate the chicken wings, drizzle remaining pan sauce over them, and garnish with green onion greens, lime zest, and crispy grain topping.
- Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and vinegar to make the seasoning.
- Score chicken wings and pan-fry both sides until golden.
- Add garlic, ginger, green onion, chili, and lemongrass, stir-fry to release aroma.
- Pour in sauce and cola, simmer over high heat until glossy, then garnish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Scoring the chicken wings ensures they cook through quickly without redness and absorb the seasoning much better.
- When stir-frying aromatic vegetables, high heat can burn them quickly and create bitterness, so use medium heat to gently release the fragrance.
- You don't need to add starch; the sugar in cola naturally thickens the sauce when reduced over high heat, giving it a rich consistency.
