Chicken Wings go so well with red fermented beancurd. You'll be amazed. Mind you, this Chicken Wings with Red-Fermented Beancurd dish is so addictively delicious.
Chicken wings are one of most popular snacks and dishes for my friends living in Hong Kong. Why? Not quite sure. It might be easier to get and cook than a whole chicken.
If we put up any bring-a-plate social gathering, it’s safe to have an organizer and make sure not every family brings a plate of chicken wings, seriously. Once I joined a gathering for families, by surprise, I found there were seven different dishes of chicken wings served on a long table. We all made fun of ourselves for having a big feast of chicken wings. We did enjoy though. So, you might get the idea of how popular chicken wings are in our culture.
These chicken wings were cooked with a very unique Chinese condiment, red fermented beancurd. Initially, I had a bit of hesitation, joggling for a while before adding the condiment. I guessed it might not appeal to my daughter’s western palate. Yet, it took me by surprise, she loved them and ate more than half of the dish. It might be the charming of chicken wings do the trick anyway.
Maybe the red fermented beancurd does the trick. Who knows? Or both.

Notes：- Heat oil over medium heat. Add ginger and red fermented beancurd paste, saute to fragrant.

No wonder your girl liked them. They look so yummy, I'm salivating here too, .... oh lunch time!
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone will say no to tasty chicken wings (okay, except for vegos). I'm a huge fan of fermented beancurd, so I will try this recipe :)
ReplyDeleteOh..this sounds like 虾酱鸡！Love it!
ReplyDeleteI've tried a similar recipe with feremented beancurd, it's really good! Yours look really yummy!
ReplyDeleteI don't have red fermented beancurd in my pantry - so I can only drool at your chicken wings!
ReplyDeleteHow funny? Your potluck shd be a chicken wings potluck and you can enjoy all the different varieties of wings!
Love red fermented beancurd in chicken wings, I've only tried making a deep-fried version, can't wait to try out yours! So yummy looking!
ReplyDeleteI truly believe that chicken wings are the most tasty part of the chicken! I always go for them if there is a choice... and your version with that glossy sauce looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so inviting. I remember my Dad keeping the red fermented beancurd in a clay jar. And when he cooked with it, the delicious smell filled the whole house. I'll try your delicious recipe straightaway! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteOooohhh....golden and looks very delicious. I can eat a whole plate and that would be my lunch :D I love that red fermented bean curd...really nice with congee.
ReplyDeleteWill you send this to me? I'll trade you my chicken boiled noodle :D Hungryyyy
ReplyDeleteI've posted an egg tart recipe and have linked it to yours as I followed your baking instructions ..... thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteooh, i just love these special condiments you use in chinese cookery - i can understand why your daughter enjoyed these.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteDo we have to marinate the chicken wings first before cooking?
@kp
ReplyDeleteFor this recipe, you don't need to. The chicken wings would absorb flavours in the process of cooking.
I'll try ir now....i think it is so yummy♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteHello Christine!
ReplyDeleteSmall question:
When do you add in the Shaoxing wine?
It doesn't specify in the instructions (or at least, not to me).
Thanks!
Hi Lily,
DeleteStated in "Method" step 2, "Pour in wine and quickly stir to combine."
I have made this a few times.I always come back to this! So yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Win,
DeleteGood to know that you love this dish. This is so addictive, haha.
Thank you for another great recipe! My housemate and I enjoyed the complex flavours of the sauce. I’m also wondering how big is the piece of red fermented bean curd you use? The one I bought is approximately a 1.5cm square which seemed not enough so I mashed in a second piece. Will be saving this recipe for the future! - Victoria
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria,
ReplyDeleteThanks for trying my recipe and liking it.
Every brand of red fermented bean curd is quite different. The size and saltiness are different too. You can adjust the amount of it based on what you have.
Hope it helps.
