Cumin Chicken Wings and Potatoes Bite


Many people have an indescribable liking for potatoes and chicken as a meal. When I have nothing to do, I will think about how to cook potatoes and chicken to turn out another delicious dish. Potatoes and chicken are always a perfect match, but I am getting tired of cooking braised chicken potatoes or curry potatoes chicken. 

I am trying a twice cooked method for this time, and it is a super easy dish. I am using chicken wings for this dish. I’m using the middle part of the wings, also known as flats or wingette, and save the drumettes for another dish.

Cumin powder serves as an essential ingredient for this dish.  The primary ingredients in cumin powder include cumin, star anise, cinnamon, and other spices. Cumin powder has a distinct flavour and an intense aroma. It is mainly used as seasoning. Whether it is used to season chicken or ribs, cumin powder has a pleasant flavour. This cumin chicken wings potatoes bite dish is quite straightforward, and both the presentation and flavour are excellent.

I cut the wings in half because it would be easier to marinate and fry them this way. Potatoes are cut into strips the same size as the wings, fry until golden on both sides, removed. And then fry the marinated chicken wings until golden. Cook them twice, to let it coat with spicy chili sauce, white sesame seeds and cumin powder, and it will burst into fragrance when you bite it. It is so delicious that you will lick your fingers. Who would not want that for a meal. The potatoes are soft and glutinous, while the chicken wings are charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Perfect for snacking or serving it over rice for dinner.

 

INGREDIENTS

20 chicken wings

2 potatoes

2 tsp light soy sauce

2 tsp dark soy sauce

1 tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp white sesame seed

2 tsp cumin powder

Some chopped coriander leaves and sliced chili for garnishing





METHOD

1. Cut the chicken wings in half and cut the potatoes into strips.

2. Marinade the chicken wings with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, and pepper for one hour.

3. Heat the oil in a deep bottom wok, fry the potato strips on a medium heat until slightly golden brown. Set it aside.

4. Fried the chicken wings with the remaining oil in the wok, over medium heat until the chicken wings are browned, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Set it aside.

5. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then return the potato strips and chicken wings to the wok and stir fry together. Add in the white sesame seed, and cumin powder, stir fry again until all the ingredients are well combined.

6. Garnished with some sliced chilies and chopped coriander leaves, ENJOY!!

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour (椰丝球)

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉)

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉) – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...
