This dish is the perfect blend of juicy, crispy chicken wings, tender mushrooms, and the fragrant notes of ginger and green onions. The savory marinade adds depth of flavor, and the combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and dark soy sauce creates a rich, umami-packed sauce that clings to the wings and mushrooms. It’s simple yet full of flavor—an ideal meal for both a casual weeknight dinner or a more sophisticated gathering.
📋 Ingredients:
10 chicken wings, cut in half (or your preferred amount)
6 mushrooms, sliced (button or shiitake mushrooms work great!)
Fresh ginger slices (about 3-4 slices, depending on your preference for ginger flavor)
Green onions, chopped (for garnish and flavor)
2 tbsp soy sauce (for marinating the chicken)
1 tbsp oyster sauce (adds a savory richness)
1 tbsp cornstarch (helps in creating a crispy texture for the chicken wings)
1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce (for depth of flavor and color)
Salt, to taste (adjust based on your taste and the saltiness of your soy sauce)
Black pepper, to taste (freshly ground for best flavor)
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying
👩🍳 Instructions:
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken Wings
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
Add the ginger slices to the mixture to infuse it with a fragrant, aromatic flavor. The ginger will also help tenderize the chicken and provide a gentle spiciness.
Carefully add the chicken wings into the marinade, making sure each wing is coated evenly.
Allow the wings to marinate for 20-30 minutes. If you have more time, you can marinate them longer, even overnight in the fridge, to intensify the flavors.
Step 2: Heat the Oil and Fry the Chicken Wings
