Cooking
Wash the shallow pot. Add the oil and minced garlic, microwave on high for 2 minutes. Add the red fermented tofu and microwave on high for 1 minute. Add the chicken wings, arranging them in a single layer without overlapping. Pour in the wine, sugar, and water, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Lift one corner of the plastic wrap to let the sauce reduce, then microwave on high for another 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
