Fish Sauce is one of the staple condiments in Vietnamese Cuisine. Fish Sauce, an umami-rich sauce, is made from anchovies, giving it an intense salty, pungent and briny taste.
The first time I tried Vietnamese Chicken Wing is in a small Viet Café a long Beach Road, Singapore. The café is opened by a Vietnamese lady. This one of my favourite Viet café in Singapore. Almost all the dishes there are very authentic and tasty.
The wings are very flavourful – intensely sweet, salty, umami but not overpowering. Super delicious. l tried to replicate this at home and it’s a total success!
Personally, l do not like to fry my food at home. I used air-fryer instead to fry the wings. Feel free to fry it with oil.
To create this intensely flavoured wings, you need to marinate the wings in a fish-sauce brine. Do Not Marinate more than 12 hours, If not it might be overly salty. Minimum of 4 hours and maximum of 12 hours!
