Char Siu Crepes

Char Siew Crepe
My first attempt at making my own crepes.

Oh, crap!
Char Siew Crepe
Did I just call those crepes? They're so seriously crappy, I couldn't spread them super thin and I couldn't make them round. They're in the shape of...giant amoebas.

Yikes!
I used this recipe. The recipe's pretty good and easy to follow, so I believe the problem was me, myself and I ^_^'
Next time I'll consider adding more salt/sugar to the batter to give it a touch more flavor.

Now the filling...

I like savory crepes, so I built my filling starting with oyster sauce and sriracha spicy sauce.
Add some market bought char siu...

Shredded cheeses (I normally use mozzarella and parmesan) freshly chopped cilantro...

Flip...

...and fold.

And bite the amoeba.
Despite looking horrrrible, it tasted pretty damn good.

"Char Siu" Chicken Wings

aIMG_0918
First working week of the year.
Ugh.
To "celebrate", let's do something stupid and easy, but tasty, of course.

Who said char siu sauce is only for grilled juicy pork?
I'm doing grilled chicken wings with char siu sauce. If this is served in parties, you'd find me parked right next to it, devouring pieces after pieces with my bare hands.

You'll need:
- As much chicken wings as you can handle
- Enough char siu sauce to slather the wings with (I used Lee Kum Kee Char Siu Sauce, it's from a jar)
- A bit of oyster sauce for an extra savory kick

Poke your wings all around with fork so that the marinate (char siu sauce and oyster sauce) can seep into them. Marinate for a few hours or overnight in the fridge. Preheat oven to 250C, grease a tray, line chicken wings and grill until you see beautifully charred, deep red gorgeous wings.

Enjoy~!
