Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chicken wings dry. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until smoking, ~90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Working in batches, sear wings 3 minutes per side without stirring until skin is deep golden and edges crisp.

  3. Step 3

    Return all wings to the pan. Whisk soy sauce, honey, and ginger together, then pour over wings and toss to coat.

  4. Step 4

    Simmer 2 minutes, shaking the pan often, until the glaze thickens and clings to the wings with a glossy sheen.

  5. Step 5

    Push wings to the side. Add 1 tbsp oil to the open space, then add mixed vegetables and toss constantly for 3 minutes until tender-crisp.

  6. Step 6

    Warm the braised tofu skin separately in a small pot or microwave, then plate alongside the wings and vegetables. Garnish with scallions.
