Chicken Wings With Black Bean Sauce Food

BRAISED CHICKEN WINGS IN BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Set a wok or a large pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, after about 1 minute, add the oil and rotate the pan to spread. When the oil is hot, add the chicken-wing sections and stir occasionally until lightly browned all over, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic; cook until soft, about 15 seconds. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the bean sauce, soy sauce, sugar and pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer, turning occasionally, until the meat is tender when pierced, 35 to 45 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, lift out the wings and place on a serving dish; cover to keep warm. Skim off and discard the fat from the pan juices. Measure the juices. If more than about 1 cup, boil, uncovered, over high heat until reduced to that amount. If less than about 1 cup, add water to make that amount and bring to a boil. Pour the pan juices over the wings, and garnish with the cilantro.

CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the chicken and the marinade ingredients in a bowl, and mix until all the liquid is absorbed. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Pre-heat your wok over high heat, until it starts to smoke. This step is essential, as it prevents the chicken from sticking to the wok. With your spatula, spread 2 tablespoons of oil over the bottom of the wok. Add the chicken, and quickly spread the pieces into a single layer. Let the chicken cook for about 30 seconds, flip, and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. The chicken is done once it turns opaque--be careful not to overcook it. Turn off the heat, transfer the chicken to a dish, and set aside.
• Next, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the wok over medium heat. Add the ginger, and let it cook for 15 seconds. Next, add the garlic, the white parts of the scallions, and the black beans. Stir for another 30 seconds. Now turn up the heat to high. Add the green and red peppers, and stir fry for about a minute. Add the sugar, Shaoxing wine, salt, the chicken, 2 tablespoons of water, and the green parts of the scallion. Quickly stir-fry everything well to coat in the sauce, and serve!

• Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water evaporates instantly. Pour in oil and swirl around side of wok to coat. Add chicken wings and pinch of salt and stir-fry, letting wings sit 5 to 10 seconds between stirs, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add black beans, garlic, ginger, and red-pepper flakes and stir-fry 1 minute. Stir broth mixture, then add to wok, stirring to coat wings. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until wings are tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a shallow serving dish.

BAT WINGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, black bean sauce, and food coloring. Set 1/3 cup soy sauce mixture aside.
• Place chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag and pour remaining soy sauce mixture over wings; seal bag. Turn bag until wings are well coated. Refrigerate, and let marinate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight, turning chicken wings every 30 minutes to coat.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat; set aside.
• Remove wings from marinade, shaking off any excess; discard marinade. Place them in an even layer on prepared baking sheets, arranging them so that wings are extended. Bake until juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes, brushing with reserved soy sauce mixture every 10 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with any remaining soy sauce mixture. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
