Cola Chicken Wings

From a blog, I saw Jaycee Chan cook this dish in the show “Big Stars to Cooking”, two of the main chefs were praise on it and give a very good comment. Previously I have cooked this dish before, maybe on that time I’m too small (just 13 years old), know not much on the cooking skill, the cooking time is not enough on that time, I’m failure in this dish and not try to cook it anymore after that. This time I have followed the method teaches from the blog but not Jaycee’s method,    just because I personally feel that it will taste better.

Ingredients:

6 Chicken Wings                       

1 Coke in Can

1 tablespoon  Ginger(crushed)

1 tablespoon  Garlic(crushed)

Seasonings:

2 tablespoons Soy Sauce

Half teaspoon Salts

2 tablespoons Shaoxing Wine (Chinese Wine)

2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar  

                                               

                                                                                                                                                                       

Method:

1. Clean the chicken wings and use a fork to stick on it then marinated it with soy sauce for half an hour.
2. Heat up a pan, fried the chicken wings without any oil, take it out when it is brownish.
3. Use the same pan to fried the gingers and the garlic, put back the chicken wings, then pours in the coke and cooks it until sticky. Add in the salt, Shaoxing wine and the balsamic vinegar. Serve it.

Note:

1. Can use the boneless thigh meats to replace the chicken wings, it is easier to eat, just need to cut the thigh meats into small pieces.
2. The coke must cover the chicken wings when cook. If it is unable to make it then must keep on turning the chicken wings to make sure the taste will be even.
3. Can use 2 to 3 tablespoon of lemon juice to replace the balsamic vinegar.

Grilled Lamb Shoulder

中文版

This is a dish that I learn from my mum-in-law. When the first time I buy the lamb shoulder, I really don’t know how to handle it, my hubby told me that the lamb chop made by my mum-in-law is taste good, so asked her the method  to cooking the lamb shoulder. The most interesting is this recipe is came from my mum-in-law, but my hubby said the taste is totally different from what she made; my mum-in-law seem like she never give me any recipe and thought that is my own recipe, some more she had forgot how to cook the lamb after she provided the recipe to me. I have grilled the lamb shoulder for some of my friends, they feel the taste is quite nice. As the result, the grilled lamb became the exclusive dish from Ester.
