We've got a glorious one indeed today, Pok Pok's Famous Vietnamese Chicken Wings. Though most of the food at Pok Pok is Northern Thai food, they have some other specialities and these wings are a big hit at the restaurant. They also happen to be one of the easiest things (and with the fewest ingredients) to make in Pok Pok's cook book so I figured I'd show you guys my version. Enjoy and never forget to cook up a storm! Pok Pok's Famous Vietnamese WingGarlicSalt1/4-1/2 cup Warm Water1/2 cup Sugar1/2 Fish Sauce (You can use soy sauce if you don't like fish sauce)Tapioca StarchChili Sauce - Mince Garlic, sprinkle sat, and mince again. Soak minced garlic in a bowl of warm water. In another bowl mix sugar, and fish sauce (or soy sauce). Mix till sugar is dissolved. Then pour liquid from garlic into sugar mix. Pour half of the mixture into a bag with chicken. Let sit in the fridge for as long as you can (24 is best but 2-4 is ok). Heat oil and fry the garlic. Don't fry for to long (light brown a little colored). Drain on paper towel. Strain liquid from chicken and dry. Roll chicken in tapioca starch, shake off and fry in oil till golden. In a pan add 1/8-1/4 cup of sugar fish sauce, once it starts to boil and caramelize add wings. Cook until wings caramelize and sauce becomes sticky. Add in fried garlic and toss. Enjoy!
