Instructions
Braising the Chicken Wings
Cut off both ends of the chicken wings, keeping only the middle section. Wash clean, mix with soy sauce, then deep-fry in 70% hot oil until colored. Remove and place in a clay pot. Add cooking wine, scallion, ginger, sugar, soy sauce, salt, and water to taste. Braise over low heat until tender. Remove the bones, return to the original broth, and reduce the sauce over high heat until thick. Plate.
Cooking the Abalone
Tear off the patterned edges of the abalone and cut with a cross-hatch (twist-cut) pattern. Place in a wok, add rich broth, cooking wine, salt, and MSG. Bring to a boil, then thicken with wet cornstarch. Arrange on the plate alongside the chicken wings, each on its own side.
Garnishing and Plating
Stir-fry the baby bok choy with salt and MSG, then arrange around the edge of the plate to complete the dish.
