Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Mushrooms
- 10 chicken wings, cut in half
- 6 mushrooms, sliced
- Ginger slices (to taste)
- 2 green onions, chopped
Sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- ½ tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Wings. Rinse the chicken wings and cut them in half at the joints to separate the drumette and flat parts. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure better frying results.
- Mix the Sauce. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and cornstarch. Stir well until the cornstarch dissolves to create a smooth sauce that will thicken during cooking.
- Heat the Oil and Fry Wings. Heat a sufficient amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken wings in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and drain excess oil on paper towels.
- Sauté Mushrooms, Ginger, and Green Onions. In the same pan, remove excess oil leaving about a tablespoon. Add ginger slices and sauté briefly until fragrant. Then add the sliced mushrooms and chopped green onions, cooking until the mushrooms are softened and lightly browned.
- Combine Wings and Sauce. Return the fried chicken wings to the pan with the mushrooms and ginger. Pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Simmer to Thicken the Sauce. Cook over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and clings to the wings and mushrooms, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy your flavorful Chicken Wings with Mushrooms hot, ideally served with steamed rice or as a delicious appetizer.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of ginger depending on how strong you prefer its flavor.
- Use fresh mushrooms like button or cremini for the best texture and taste.
- Ensure the chicken wings are dry before frying to achieve a crispy skin.
- If you prefer less oil, you can pan-fry on medium heat and use a splatter guard to reduce mess.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
