Grilled Chicken Wing Tips from Taiwanese Chef (with Video) 烤鸡翅

A few important tips I learned from this video when grilling chicken wings:
1. Slit once or twice on the wing would help marinate and easier for the wing to cook through
2. Slit (but do not completely cut off) the joint between the flat and the tip, so that when grilled, the wing stays straight. Or, you can use a bamboo stick

The problem I found with Asian recipe videos, is that often times they do not provide more exact ingredient measurements.
I listed out the ingredients used, but you may have to refer to the video to have a better idea of how much is used.

Here you go!

Recipe videos are great for demonstrations, but they don't not come with the written ingredients and method.
Since I'll have to write down the ingredients and steps for myself anyways, I'm sharing them here.

Steamed Chicken Mushroom Rice with Rice Cooker (with Video) 电锅冬菇鸡饭

Came across this video on YouTube and tried it at home.
It's one of my favorite 30-minute dinner!

The chef did a few very smart things:
First, he put in just a few clams to add twist to the rice.
Lastly, he wipes some sesame oil on the outside of the bowl before serving - so that you get the enjoy the fragrance but not the calories!

There are a few things that I miss about my years living in the Midwest.
All those finger-licking-good chicken wings were one of them.
Few nights ago I finally tried out this recipe, and it made me a very happy gal!

Now my quest is to look for organic free range wings, which I wonder if they exist since wings are not considered 'healthy'.

But hey, crispy-juicy-spicy-and-buttery-wing VS boiled chicken breast.
I know what I'm getting to go with my beer. ;)

Shrimp Thai Fried Rice with Tomato Sauce 茄汁虾泰式炒饭

Longing for an easy savory dinner, I tried this Thai fried rice recipe the other day.
The result was .. of course it was good, else this recipe won't make it to my collection here. ;)

Ok enough boosting.
The fried rice is a perfect mix of savory, sweet and sourness.
You can taste the shrimp, the tomato sauce, the lemon juice and the cilantro.
None of each overpowers the others!

And, it's easy to make.

Mmmm... just recalling the taste makes my mouth watering! ;p~
