3 lb chicken wings
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
2 cl garlic, minced
2 green onions, chopped
2 eggs, beaten
5 tsp soy sauce, (kikkoman)
1 oil, for deep frying
Directions
Recipe by: lynne nishihara
Cut wings in half after removing tips. Wash and pat
dry. Mix remaining ingredients and marinate wings 3
hours or overnight. Batter will be thick, but will
thin down during marinating. Deep fry until golden
brown and drain on paper towels.
Notes: Sliced flank steak or boneless chicken pieces
may be substituted. I usually double the sesame seeds
and green onions.
Sharon, Anna's recipe is similar to one I have. I've
used both flank steak and chicken (wings and breast
fillet strips). The main difference seems to be the
addition of flour and cornstarch and deep frying
(watch them arteries!). I posted it a long while ago,
so this is a reprint.

The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as thyme, mint and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were two recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of food served to the rich and powerful of that period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery books were highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
