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

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!!

Crispy Fried Noodles Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce

I don’t want to blow my own horn, but I’m determined to do everything I can to make you want to try these meatballs. These meatballs are coated with SWEET CHILLI LIME SAUCE. The sweet chili paste is the major component of making the sauce. Apart from using this paste to make the sauce for the meatballs. You can also use it for other dishes like stir-fries with French beans, spread over cucumber or bread, or sometimes use it to pair with fried noodles. The paste itself is sweet with some spiciness. I am using two types of dried chilies to make the paste, one type is mild, and the type is extremely hot dried chilies. Bear in mind that the smaller they are, the hotter they are. My meatballs contain glass noodles inside and outside of them. If you're not familiar with the idea of adding noodles to meatballs, let me convince you as to why it's a great idea. The noodles get crispy outside after frying.   So, you don’t need to mess up with panko or any other breading. Glass nood...

Salted Egg Yolks Fried Wings

  There are some leftover salted egg yolks after the Dragon Boat Festival. Salted egg yolk fried wings straight pop into my mind. Egg yolk chicken wings are really flavoring explosions, highly praised for its unique flavor, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tempting with their salty and fragrant taste. Other than the flavor that driving everyone’s insane. The key to this dish is to double fry the chicken wings until they are golden and crispy before coating them with a rich sauce of salted egg yolk and season them to make every bite full of rich taste and irresistible flavor. Since the fried chicken is mixed with salted egg yolks and melted butter, I must admit that this is a really greasy dish.   Eat this sparingly, then. I cut and divide my wings into mid wings and drummets. And I am going to give a shallow cut on them for better penetration during the marinating. Just oyster sauce, soy sauce and white pepper make up the basic marinade for the chicke...

Steamed Chicken With Cordyceps Flowers and Shitake Mushrooms (虫草花香菇蒸鸡)

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...
