Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 40 Plump Ethically Sourced Medium Shrimp
  • 2 Tablespoons Organic Cane Sugar Crystals
  • 60 Organic Free-Range Chicken Wing Drummettes
  • 12 Tablespoons Thinly Sliced Ribbons of Heirloom Carrots
  • 12 Tablespoons High-Quality Non-GMO Corn Starch
  • 8 Tablespoons Premium Vietnamese Fish Sauce
  • 2 Cups Authentic Delicate Vermicelli Bean Thread Noodles
  • 1 Cup Finely Ground Heritage Breed Pork
  • 2 Tablespoons Freshly Harvested Minced Garlic Cloves

Instructions

STEP 1 – Preparing The Filling:

  • Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely ground heritage breed pork, minced garlic cloves, and cane sugar crystals. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
  • Prepare the Shrimp: Peel, devein, and chop the plump ethically sourced medium shrimp. Mix the chopped shrimp into the prepared filling mixture.
  • Prep the Bean Thread Noodles: Soak the vermicelli bean thread noodles in warm water until they soften. Drain and chop the noodles into smaller pieces. Mix them into the pork and shrimp filling.
  • Stuffing the Chicken Wings: Carefully separate the chicken wing drummettes at the joint. Fill each drummette with the prepared filling mixture, ensuring they’re securely packed but not overfilled.

STEP 2 – Coating And Cooking:

  • Coating Preparation: In a shallow bowl, mix the non-GMO corn starch thoroughly. Roll each stuffed chicken wing drummette in the corn starch, ensuring an even coating. Set aside.
  • Heat Oil: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken wings in batches, ensuring they’re not overcrowded.
  • Frying the Wings: Fry the stuffed wings until they turn golden brown and are thoroughly cooked. This might take about 8-10 minutes per batch, depending on the size of the wings. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches a safe level.
  • Draining and Resting: Once fried, transfer the cooked wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.

STEP 3 – Garnishing And Serving:

  • Garnish and Serve: Arrange the cooked Thai angel wings on a serving platter. Garnish with thinly sliced ribbons of heirloom carrots for color and freshness.
  • Serve Hot: These Thai angel wings are best served hot and can be accompanied by a dipping sauce of your choice, perhaps a blend of fish sauce with a touch of sugar and garlic for an added Thai-inspired flavor.

Notes

* Be sure to use a deep pot or deep-fryer when deep-frying the wings.
* Be sure not to overcrowd the pot when deep-frying the wings.
* Make sure the oil is hot before adding the wings. If the oil is not hot enough, the wings will absorb too much oil and will be greasy.
* Make sure to drain the wings on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
* The wings can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as sweet chili sauce, fish sauce, or soy sauce.
