Family Recipe 39 - Braised Chicken Wings

Ingredients: Chicken wings (free-range chicken), ginger, rock sugar, soy sauce Instructions: 1. Clean the chicken wings, removing any pinfeathers or quills. Wash them and cut them into two pieces along the joints. 2. Heat oil in a pan, add rock sugar, and melt it. Turn to low heat. Once fine bubbles appear, add the chicken wings and stir-fry to coat them with the sugar color. 3. Pour in water to cover the chicken wings, add soy sauce for flavor and color. If you feel the taste is not enough, you can add salt yourself. 4. Bring to a boil, then cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes. 5. Remove the lid and turn up the heat to reduce the sauce until it thickens. Cutting the chicken wings into two pieces makes them easier to cook and reduces the amount of water needed to cover them. Perhaps you've noticed, but I almost never use MSG, chicken essence, or other seasonings because my family dislikes them. So, I don't use these items. Also, because my family doesn't eat carrots, bell peppers, or bitter melon, I rarely use these ingredients myself. Of course, I occasionally use them when I eat them, but I would recommend adding them if possible, as they are nutritious and colorful.
