Super Easy Asian Chicken Wings

This past weekend my father and I tested a recipe from the NY Times. We were pressed for time and this recipe looked both delicious and easy to make. A major win-win. We love Asian flavors and chicken wings are a family favorite! 

This recipe is great for a weeknight dinner or even for a weekday dinner! The marinade takes no more than 10 minutes to make. You can let the chicken wings sit for 30 minutes or you can make this the night before so that you are ready to go the next day. If you add marinade, soaking time, and cooking time --- this takes a little over one hour. That's it!

The chicken was so succulent and bursting with flavors. I will be adding this to my normal repertoire! Enjoy!!!

Ingredients:
- 2 containers chicken wings
- 1/2 garlic, crushed
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 3/4 cup sake
- 3 tbsp mirin
Directions:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 400F with convection. (If you are making these later, you can pre-heat when you make them later. You can also make these chicken wings on the grill).

2. Mix the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and garlic together in a bowl.
3. Add your chicken wings to your marinade and allow to soak for at least 30 minutes.
4. Prepare your baking set up. My dad likes to wrap a baking dish in aluminum foil and then top the dish with a wire baking rack, which is sprayed with PAM. 
5. Lay your chicken wings on the rack. Allow chicken wings to bake for about 30 minutes and be sure to watch your chicken so they don't burn!!!
Et voila~! Super easy Asian Chicken Wings!!!

Shalom Japan: It's Me, on a Plate!

Image
Last month, my best friend (E) and I ventured out into the outskirts of Willamsburg to try a new restaurant called "Shalom Japan." We are always looking for new places to try and this establishment peaked our interest. Why? Because it is Jewish-Japanese fusion…basically, me on a plate! I've heard of all sorts of cuisine fusions, but this was certainly a first. I'll admit, Shalom Japan is not necessarily in the nicest of neighborhoods and it's not not a busy street. E and I were a bit nervous that we'd gone the wrong way, but eventually, we found the place. The restaurant is quite small, but homey. It's got wood tables/chairs and the building is brick. The atmosphere is very laid back and nice. So far, so good.  I was really intrigued by the menu. I was familiar with all of the ingredients, but was truly impressed by how they were incorporated into Jewish dishes. For example, the sake kasu challah.  I LOOOOOOVE challah. If I had no self contr

Gordon Ramsay's Cheesy Potato Dauphinoise

I am fairly impressionable --- at least when it comes to cooking. When I see a recipe or a dish that intrigues me, I become obsessed and determine to give it a go. I have been obsessively watching Come Dine With Me  for at least one month and a dish that keeps popping up is: Potato Dauphionoise. I've eaten this side dish a couple times in my life, but not recently. It looked so delicious and easy to make, and I was determined to try my hand at this posh looking side. As per usual, I consulted the internet to look for recipes. As most of you know, I am obsessed with Gordon Ramsay. He is always my go to. If he doesn't have a recipe for something I want to make, I'm always feel a little lost, but luckily, that wasn't the case this time. I was delighted to have stumbled upon Gordon Ramsay's "Gratin Dauphonoise." He has yet to let me down and you know what, this dish was a winner! Something that I am adding to my repertoire.  This dish was incredibly e

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: Where Greek Mythology Comes to Life

Image
Last week, I finally made it to the movie theater to see Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. I don’t care what anyone says, I LOVED IT. I loved the film, I love the Percy Jackson franchise, I love the Rick Riordan books, and I cannot wait for the next book ( The Titan’s Curse), to be made into a film! For those who may be unfamiliar with Percy Jackson, allow me to briefly explain. Percy Jackson is essentially Harry Potter , but the magic has been swapped for ancient Greek mythology. The protagonist of the series, Percy Jackson, is a demi-god and son of Poseidon --- god of the Seas. Percy lives at Camp Half Blood and is often accompanied by his best friends, Grover (a satyr) and Annabeth Chase (daughter of Athena). These three, along with a variety of other characters, go on quests and do everything in their power to stop the return of the evil Titan, Kronos, who is trying to resurrect himself and overthrow Olympus. (He’s got a bit of a grudge against his sons --- Zeu
