[Recipe] 椒鹽煎焗雞翼 / Salt and pepper chicken wings

I have cooked this dish many many times.  I guess I can say it is my signature dish now :-)
Salt & pepper chicken wings is always my fav but I will never deep fry food in my kitchen.  I just hate the oil!!!  So here is my way of cooking salt & peppers wings.  The key is to use a non stick pan with a lid, cook the chicken in med heat, then finally in high heat to create the golden crisp skin!!! 

Serves 2- 3

Tools:
1. a big bowl (for marinate the chicken)
2. a tsp
3. a non stick cooking pan with lid

Ingredients :

1. approx. 600g of chicken wings
2. 1 tsp salt
3. 1 tsp white pepper
4. 1 tsp shaoxing wine (optional)
5. 2 tsp oil (olive oil is preferred coz it is healthier)

Method:

1. cut the chicken wings in pieces
2. marinate the wings with salt and peppers, at least 4 hours or even longer
3. heat a non stick pan with high heat, add in 1 tsp of oil, add in the wings, stir it a bit, then cover with lid,  change to a mid heat, cook for 3 mins.  (DO NOT NEED TO ADD IN ANY WATER), then open the lid, give it a stir to make sure the other side of the wings can be cooked, close the lid again, and cook for 3 mins.
4. if u notice the wings are quite moist, turn to high heat, cook each side of the wings for 2 or 3 mins more, until u see they all turned a bit brown and crispy.

enjoy!!!

[Dine out in London] Peninsula restaurant, Greenwich

如果想飲茶, 我吔都會嚟呢間pennisula, 15 mins from canary wharf, 很方便.

雖然佢個名叫pennisula, 食物服務價錢我會覺得佢似香港慨稻香, 一個字: 抵.

Razor clams and spaghetti

Basically the same ingredients are used here, courgettes, onions, garlic, razor clams.  The difference is on the pasta sauce.
On the left hand side, there is no sauce in there haha.  I just cooked them with lots of black peppers.  This is for Mr Chen coz if given choices, he would prefer something more Chinese.  So this is a fusion style spaghetti, stir fried with razor clams and lots of black peppers.
 
On the right hand side, this is for me.  Tomato sauce!! yum!!!

白菜豆腐秀珍菇

我覺得去到唔同地方，就要吃當地最新鮮最多嘅食材, 係英國當然吃蘑菇, 我晌呢邊係唔會買秀珍菇呀雞比菇呀咁, 買都係因為陳生跟埋去超市, 所以失控. 之前响seewoo俾佢買咗三條雞比菇, 已經好似£4. 响香港買十幾條啦.
今次呢啲秀珍菇係响waitrose買的, 係英國種架, 好新鮮, 只係£1.49, 算係好抵啦!

Leek fritters

Bought a big packet of leeks few days ago, for making Chinese steam buns. 

While there were 5 long stalks of leeks in the packet, I only used 2 of them for making steam buns.

Thinking of how to use up the rest of the leeks, I made this leek fritters.  Yum!!!

[Recipe] Homemade pizza - Ham and pineapple

Makes a 12 to 13 inches pizza -> 6 big slices

Pizza dough recipe from Delia's

Ingredients used are:

• homemade tomato sauce - saute 1 finely chopped onions and a few cloves of garlic with olive oil, add in 1 can of tinned tomatoes  + half can of water, cook for approx. half an hour in med heat until the sauce thickens.  add in a few basil leaves.  season with sugar, salt and black pepper
• some fresh pineapple pieces
• 3 large slices of good quality ham
• one mozzarella ball 

Bake at 230C for 10 mins

You might notice you only used half of the tomato sauce, so you can freeze the leftover for making another pizza or for making pasta later on.

Homemade is great when you have time.  You know the quality of the ingredients used and it tastes so much better because of the effort u have put in :-)
