Hot Wangs!

G'Day Bruces :becky:

So glad I got a chance to do these wings yesterday. Prepared these with a considerable Chinese and Korean twist to make them very flavoursome indeed!

Started with these ingredients:


I want to particularly show you guys this chili bean sauce.





This stuff is the key ingredient in Ma Po Tofu. It's not particularly hot in Scovilles but is really delicious and will still tear out the taste buds of the unwary.:becky: I can't recommend this chili bean source highly enough!:tongue:

This stuff here is my home made Szechuan Pepper and Salt for sprinkling on the top later. It has an amazing numbing effect on the mouth.


Anyway I made the following mix:


2 TBS Chili Bean Paste
1 TBS Korean Red Pepper Paste
1 TBS Korean Red Pepper Flakes
Small Dash of Siracha
1 TSP Prickly Ash Oil ... This stuff is derived from the Szechuan Pepper!

And put in on the wings to marinate for 6 hours or so.


I put the wings on indirect for a while first


Then in the middle for a hot sear



They came off looking real nice!


Earlier on I prepared a very interesting "salad"


consisting of:

5 cloves Smoked Garlic Confit smasked with S&P
Dash Soy Sauce
Whole Cucumber, Sliced
Whole Avocado Sliced

Then I tossed in all my remaining kimchi :becky:


And them plated up it looked awesome!


And tasted even better!



How was the heat?????

Pretty good. About a 5 out of 10 on my own personal "hotometer" with real nice rounded flavour. The kimchi salad with the cucumber and avocado worked really well with the wings too. Definitely will do again!

Cheers and Thanks for Looking!:becky:

Thanks everyone.

Yes... for mere Mortals the heat would have been about 11! :wink:

Outstanding! What’s the Korean equivalent to blue cheese dressing?

Fermented Tofu.



I thought about putting that in but it's seriously funky. It's mainly a Chinese thing but the Koreans have it too.

Nope. Just the charcoal baskets close together. Pretty good shot though! I got a new Fujifilm X-T100. I don't think I can get shots as good with a phone camera.
