Buffalo Wing Stir Fry
Dec 10th
Recipe: Buffalo Wing Stir Fry
Summary: Great way to re-use buffalo wings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice (white, brown, mixed – whatever you like – any grain will do)
- 1-3 tbs – chili garlic sauce
- 1/4-1/2 tsp premium fish sauce
- 6 tbs – ponzu sauce mirin
- 6-8 chicken wings
- 1/8-1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1/4 bottle of beer – I used Corona
- 1 large tomato – chopped
- 6 large basil leaves – chopped finely
- 1 onion – chopped
- 1/2 bell pepper – chopped
- 2 cloves garlic – finely minced
- 1 medium sized zucchini – chopped
- 5 tbs vegetable oil
- 4-7 tbs butter (modify based on your love of butter)
Instructions
- Place skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and butter. When butter is melted add onion and bell peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add 3 tbs ponzu, 1 tbs chili garlic sauce and a pinch of pepper and onions. Cook until onions have softened. Spoon onions and peppers into a bowl for later.
- Place wok or skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil. When hot – add the chicken. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Add beer, 1 tbs chili garlic sauce, 3 tbs ponzu sauce and 1/4-1/2 tsp fish sauce. Cook until the liquids have reduced to about 1/4 cup.
- Add zucchini. Cook until the zucchini tastes al-dente but delicious to you.
- Add the onion and garlic from the bowl – mix and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the rice and mix over heat for 1 minute.
- Take off the heat. Plate it. I use bowls to place the rice on the plates – because you can leave the bowl on to keep it hot while you make a sauce.
- Place skillet used to cook the buffalo chicken on high heat.
- Add mirin, 1 tbs chili garlic sauce. Stir furiously as the mirin boils off. After 2 minutes of having the mirin furiously boil. Add 2 tbs butter. Continue stiring furiously. Add 1/4 cup chicken stock. Continue to let the liquid boil off. When the liquid is holding to the spatula or spoon and looks like molasses take it off the heat.
- Add chopped tomato and basil on top off the rice and plate.
- Spoon the mirin sauce over the rice and on the edge of the plate (to allow people to dip their rice into the sauce).
Quick Notes
I was surprised it tasted as good as it did. Play with proportions based on how spicy, salty, sweet you like your food.
Variations
