Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup (about 0.70 oz) dried glass noodles
- 1 tbsp dried shiitake mushrooms, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 coriander roots
- 1/2 tsp black peppercorns
- 3/4 cup ground pork
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1/2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 lb chicken wings
- 1 cup tempura flour
- 1 cup ice-cold water
- 1 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- Oil, as needed for deep-frying
Instructions
- Soak the glass noodles and dried shiitake mushrooms in water for about 15 minutes, or until softened. After soaking, cut the glass noodles into 1 cm pieces and finely dice the mushrooms.
- Use a mortar and pestle or food processor to crush the garlic, coriander roots, and black peppercorns into a fine paste.
- Combine the ground pork, glass noodles, diced mushrooms, and crushed spices in a large mixing bowl. Add oyster sauce and fish sauce, mixing everything well until thoroughly combined.
- To debone the wings, start by removing the drumette bone entirely, keeping only the flat (wingette) with the tip attached. Carefully make a small incision along the bone and separate the meat without tearing the skin. Gently pull out the smaller bone, keeping the skin intact.
- Stuff each deboned wing with the prepared filling, packing it tightly and evenly. Steam the stuffed wings for about 10 minutes until the filling is cooked through.
- Prepare the batter by mixing tempura flour with ice-cold water in a small bowl. Keep breadcrumbs in another bowl. Dip each steamed stuffed wing into the batter, then coat it with breadcrumbs evenly.
- Heat oil in a deep pan or wok to 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower the wings into the hot oil in small batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy on the outside, which should take a few minutes.
- Remove the wings with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce, spicy vinegar dip, or rice.
Notes
- Do not overstuff the wings to prevent tearing the skin.
- Use ice-cold water in the batter for an extra crispy coating.
- Steam the wings before frying to ensure the filling cooks through evenly.
- For a lighter version, you can bake the wings at 400°F for 25 minutes instead of deep-frying.
- Serve with jasmine rice or Thai sweet chili sauce for the best flavor.
