Alan made those chicken wings, crispy skin outside, tender and juicy meat inside, toss with sweet and spicy sauce, tasted better even than restaurant made!
 
The Waring deep fryer that we newly bought works great, such a big difference compares to the previous GranPappy I was using. Now the food comes out quickly and crispy (french fries never made so easy!) as if made out of restaurant grade fryer, and the big capacity allows me fry 20 wings or spring rolls at once, it works perfectly for parties!
 
                      

My friend brought me two packs of Sichuan seasonings from China. One of the packs was spicy kind, I made 5 lbs of sausages with it. I cured the meat then air dried them in our lanai for about two weeks. Those sausages were tasty and super spicy!
 
                    
Started last July, I no longer buying pre-ground meat from stores. I bought ourselves a Waring Pro electric Meat Grinder. It grinders 5 lbs of meat within 2 minutes! The food I made from fresh ground meat tasted more tender, juicy. And I can choose whatever kinds of meat, cuts to grind. For this batch of Sichuan style sausage meat, I grinded pork shoulder and pork fat together then mixed well with seasonings.

                    
One of popular breakfasts in Shanghai, deep fried rice cakes. They were made from sweet rice. I used this type of Norpro Ice Cream Sandwich Maker shaped those rice cakes. It worked really well.
