Korean Fried Chicken Wings

The best Korean fried chicken wings! My family are fans of fried chicken. We love using this chicken mix because it is delicious. The fried chicken turns out perfect every time. So crispy and crunchy!

Ingredients:

  • 4 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 ½ bag CJ Beksul Korean Fried Chicken Mix
  • 2 tsp Salt

Chicken Mix:

  • 4 cups chicken mix
  • 2 cups water

This recipe is really simple and easy. First, heat the oil. I’m using an air fryer at 350 degrees. Next, mix the chicken mix with water. The batter should have a nice flowing consistency.

Then season the chicken with salt. Keep in mind that the chicken mix already has some seasoning in it so you don’t need a lot of seasoning for the chicken.

In a tight container or big Ziploc bag, pour in some chicken mix.

Dip the wings into the batter then in the mix. Keep the wing in the mix.

Once the container is full, close the container lid and shake it vigorously. Now it’s ready to be fried. 

Note: you’ll want to keep adding more chicken mix into the container as you toss more chicken into it.

Deep fry for about 10 minutes or until 165 degrees F. Repeat until all chicken wings are cooked. 

Enjoy these Korean fried chicken wings!

Oreo Cheesecake Brownies Trifles

This Oreo cheesecake brownies trifles taste so heavenly. This is perfect for a potluck, gathering with friends and families, or any occasion. My husband and kids are a fan of Oreos while I like brownies. The Oreo and brownie combo turned out so perfect.

This trifle is so easy to make and assemble. The most fun part is layering all the ingredients together. I like my brownies gooey and fudgy so this brownie recipe is perfect. It makes the trifle taste better. 

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 cups Chopped Oreos

Brownies Recipe

  • ½ cup melted unsalted butter, still warm/hot
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 
  • ⅔ cup powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ tsp teaspoon kosher salt

Oreo cheesecake filling recipe

  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cups Oreo crumbs, grinded
  • Chocolate syrup

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving a couple of inches of overhang on two sides. This will allow you to easily lift the brownies out of the pan later.

Combine granulated sugar and hot butter in a large bowl. Stir it briefly then let it sit for about 5 minutes. Whisk the butter and sugar vigorously for 30 seconds then add eggs, water, and vanilla extract, whisking again until combined. 

Sprinkle cocoa powder, powdered sugar, flour, chocolate chips, and salt over the wet ingredients. Use a silicone spatula to stir the mixture until it is well combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes (begin checking at 20 minutes). The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out without raw batter on it. Be careful not to overbake. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

When the brownies are cool, cut them into bite-size pieces.

Look how gooey and fudgy these brownies are. So yummy!

Chop up some Oreos and grind about 1 cup of Oreos.

To make the cheesecake filling, add the cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Set aside.

In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form. Add the cream cheese mixture to the whipped cream and mix until combined. Add the Oreo crumbs and fold until well combined.

To put it together, add a layer of the brownie pieces to the bottom of the trifle dish.

Pipe in the cheesecake filling in an even layer on top of the brownies.

Layer some chopped Oreos then drizzle with chocolate syrup/sauce.

Pipe a whipped cream layer and another layer of brownies.  Add another layer of whipped cream and top it off with chopped Oreos and chocolate syrup/sauce.

Refrigerate trifle until ready to serve. Enjoy!

Fresh Spring Rolls

Fresh Spring Rolls

Fresh spring rolls are light and healthy. It is made with vegetables, shrimp, pork meat, and vermicelli noodles wrapped in rice paper. 

Growing up I would help my mom make them. I wasn’t very good at rolling at that time so they were all different shapes and sizes. Now that I’m older, my rolling got better. 

Fresh Spring Rolls

Spring rolls are easy to make. First, prepare the ingredients then roll. You can put in vegetables or throw some meat in there if you like. I like to add red roast pork and Vietnamese ham. I’ve added bacon in Spring rolls before too and it tastes good. 

I like to dip my spring rolls in a spicy peanut sauce. It just adds that extra spice and flavor to it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pack of rice paper
  • 6 oz Vermicelli noodles
  • 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 Shredded carrot
  • 2 Romaine lettuce
  • 12 oz Shrimp, cooked and sliced in half

Optional:

  • Vietnamese ham
  • Bacon
  • Pork belly
  • Cilantro
  • Avocado

Instructions:

Fresh Spring Rolls

Cook your red roast pork then thinly slice them. Set it aside.

In a medium pot cook your vermicelli noodles until soft. Drain and set aside. 

Prepare the vegetables and workspace. You will need a bowl of cold water to dip the rice paper in.

Fresh Spring Rolls

Dip the rice paper in cold water for 2 seconds then put it on a flat surface. Don’t worry if it’s still hard. It will soften.

Place the lettuce, noodles, vegetables, pork, and shrimp inside. 

It’s better to wait until the wrapper is soft before rolling. 

Roll once, fold the sides, then continue rolling. Repeat until ingredients are done.

Fresh Spring Rolls

Spring rolls tend to stick to each other so it’s not a good idea to stack them together once you’re done rolling. Some people like to wrap them in plastic wrap individually. Here I put plastic wrap on a tray and space them out. Once full, I put another plastic wrap on top and lay them out again.

Fresh Spring Rolls

Spring rolls taste better fresh. If you do have some extra, wrap it individually and put it in the fridge for the next day. Microwave it for 30 seconds and it should be good to eat. I’ve noticed that if I don’t wrap it, the wrappers and noodles will get hard.
