Ingredients
- 10 chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon whole white (or black) peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil
- 10 slices ginger
- 300 ml hot water about 1 ¼ cups
- 2 teaspoon dark soy sauce see note
- ½ teaspoon salt
- scallions, finely chopped for garnishing, optional
- Cresh chilies, finely chopped for garnishing, optional
Instructions
- Chop each chicken wing into 3 pieces by cutting through its 2 joints.
- Gently crush the whole peppercorns with the side of a knife to open them up a bit (but they should be still in the original shape).
- Put oil, ginger and the peppercorns in a wok. Fry over medium high heat until fragrant.
- Place the chicken pieces in. Stir fry until they are slightly brown.
- Add hot water, dark soy sauce and salt. Bring the water to a boil. Then cover with a lid and leave to simmer for 25 minutes or so (Stir once halfway through).
- Garnish with scallions and fresh chili before serving if you wish (optional).

Notes
- You may replace dark soy sauce with light soy sauce. If you do so, the finished dish will look lighter in colour but the taste won't change that much.
