Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs chicken wings (drummettes + flats)
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 3 stalks scallions, chopped
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas)
  • 6 oz braised tofu skin (canned or prepared)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat chicken wings dry. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until smoking, ~90 seconds.

  2. 2

    Working in batches, sear wings 3 minutes per side without stirring until skin is deep golden and edges crisp.

  3. 3

    Return all wings to the pan. Whisk soy sauce, honey, and ginger together, then pour over wings and toss to coat.

  4. 4

    Simmer 2 minutes, shaking the pan often, until the glaze thickens and clings to the wings with a glossy sheen.

  5. 5

    Push wings to the side. Add 1 tbsp oil to the open space, then add mixed vegetables and toss constantly for 3 minutes until tender-crisp.

  6. 6

    Warm the braised tofu skin separately in a small pot or microwave, then plate alongside the wings and vegetables. Garnish with scallions.

Tools you’ll need

  • large 12-inch skillet with lid
