Steamed Drunken Chicken Wings with Asparagus & Wolfberries


something quick and easy. result of yet another daily 'invention test'.
fragrance from the wine, ginger, chicken oil and shallot oil is always nice on a cold day.
soup will be a nice blend of veg & chicken taste to it.

ingredients:
  • 5-6 chicken wings
  • 7-8 stalks of asparagus (skinned, chopped to halves)
  • ginger finely shredded
  • wolfberries (handful, soaked washed, cleaned)
  • fragrant oil (shallots oil)
  • pepper
  • chinese cooking wine
  • salt
  • fish sauce/ soy sauce (couple of teaspoon, to taste, optional)
 recipe:
  • marinate chicken by rubbing in salt, pepper, fragrant oil (i actually also added just some fish sauce for the 'smell') for about 15-20 min
  • put steamer to boil at high heat
  • place chopped asparagus at bottom of plate/tray
  • add approx enough wine to level of asparagus
  • add part of ginger and all of wolfberries to wine
  • place wings on top of asparagus, add rest of ginger and wolfberries on top of wings
  • steam at high heat for 20 minutes (make sure chicken is fully thawed before steaming. how to know if its cooked? the bones wld have turned white and the bloody parts turned dark)
  • drizzle fish sauce/soy sauce (optional) should soup require more 'taste'
