Since we moved into our townhouse last year, I lost my yard and my favorite rhubarb that I planted. Fortunately, I noticed two large healthy rhubarb plants in our son’s backyard. Yesterday, I went over to his house and collected a few rhubarb stems. Back at home, I used them to cook a dish of chicken wings together with ginger.
Here’s a delicious recipe for chicken wings featuring ginger, rhubarb, sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice wine:
Ingredients:
– 1.5 lbs chicken wings
– 3 tablespoons sesame oil
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce (adjust according to personal taste)
– 1/4 cup rice wine (or dry sherry)
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
– 1/4 cup fresh ginger, sliced
– 2 stalks of rhubarb, chopped into fine pieces
Instructions:
– In a large bowl, mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar (if using), ginger, and rhubarb.
– Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours if possible.
– Heat the pan over medium-high heat.
– Add the marinated chicken wings. Add a cup of water. Cook for twenty minutes (add more water if needed) until the water is almost dry and the wings are well cooked.
Final Touches:
– Transfer the wings and rhubarb to a serving platter/bowl.
– If desired, garnish with chopped green onions.
– Serve the chicken wings hot, with your favorite sides (steamed rice and veggies).
I hope you will try making this dish of fragrant chicken wings with ginger and rhubarb.
