Ingredients
  • 3 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 cup white or yellow miso paste
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)
  • About the rice vinegar. This is less strong, about 4% acetic acid, than most commercial white vinegars or even cider vinegar, which are often 6% or more. Most good groceries sell it as either plain or seasoned. Get the plain. If you must use white vinegar or cider vinegar, add a couple of tablespoons more water.
  • About the mirin. Mirin is a mild, slightly sweet very mild white rice wine. It is usually in the import section of good groceries. If you can't find it, sake will do or a dryish white wine like chenin blanc or American riesling (not late harvest).
  • About the sesame oil. There is no substitute for this amazing aromatic extract from toasted sesame seed. If you see clear or yellow sesame oil, keep looking. The toasted stuff is dark amber to brown. It is also stocked by better groceries.
  • About the sesame seeds. Sometimes you can buy toasted sesame seeds, but most of the time they aren't toasted. Even if they are toasted, toasting them again just before serving, as described below, brings the oils and aromas out.
