I'm trying to make some Vietnamese chicken wings... inspired by a restaurant Pok Pok - Anyone had them? Looks like the restaurant didn't survive Covid but appears to have had several locations over a 10 year run.. I'm in batch 2 - first one was too salty... Trying again today with marinade and will post some pictures tomorrow. Marinade consists of strained fresh garlic, salt, fish sauce and sugar.
What is strained fresh garlic? How do you strain garlic? Sent from my iPad using FerrariChat.com mobile app
chop a bunch of peeled cloves in salt and place in warm water for 10 minutes or so and muddle around .. then strain only the water into the marinade - discarding the garlic mash as it would burn in the next step of frying the wings .
Upon reading your first post I googled and that video popped up too. Too much sugar in that dish , but otherwise looks great. You sure have posted some good eats. Good luck cooking , I'll be looking for your posts.

My attempt was not nearly as successful. Good thing I never give up. It’s just a matter of time. Sent from my iPad using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Man, that came out great. I just started throwing together sauces on the Big Green Egg for "Asian" wings and they came out really good. >>>Spicy Asian KC Wings<<< Chicken wings 3 lbs 275-300 1hr brown sugar 1 cup oil 1 tbsp Lemmon 1 Chinese cooking wine 4 tbsp soy sauce 4 tbsp chee hou sauce 2 tbsp Szechuan red bean curd 2 tbsp Spicy Crab Paste 2 tbsp ketchup 1/2 cup Szechuan peppercorns 2 tbsp Garlic cloves Pepper 1 tbsp Cheyenne pepper 1 tbsp Salt Image Unavailable, Please Login
Simply overcooked. Flavor was there though. I was distracted. Too many irons in the fire...... Sent from my iPad using FerrariChat.com mobile app
I love this idea. There is a restaurant in Houston that does spicy Korean wings like that. They do a kimchee smothered french fries too that is pretty cool. Great stuff. Yours look awesome.
Looks awesome. But I have to say...if that very, very popular restaurant could not survive covid...yikes.
Yeah, sucks some of the greats are gone.. K-Pauls was probably my favorite New Orleans spot and it's closed it's doors too.
We've made this Vietnamese version a gazillion times. Always yummy; kinda similar to Pok Pok wings. Cánh gà chiên nước mắm (Vietnamese chicken wings) Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hmmm, good to know that it's not just our love of Ferrari cars we have common, got to love great Pok Pok style wings!

Cool. I think I have most of those ingredients. Now to convince the wife to buy chicken wings during her next Kroger run! T
