Slow Cooker Chicken Wings

Slow Cooker Chicken Wings

Makes 3 servings.

1 lb Red Dog red king radish
1 knob (1 inch) ginger
2 large handfuls Red Dog spinach (more or less to taste)
1 Tbsp neutral oil
9 pieces chicken wings (patted dry with a paper towel)
½ cup water
2 hard-boiled eggs (peeled)
3 Tbsp sake
1 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp mirin
3 Tbsp soy sauce

For this recipe, you can either use a slow cooker, such as a 6-quart Instant Pot, or you can simmer the ingredients in a regular pot for 20–30 minutes, let cool for a couple of hours while the ingredients absorb all the flavors, and then reheat again to serve.

Cut the radish into rounds ½ inch thick. Peel the ginger and slice thinly.

Heat the Instant Pot using the Sauté mode. Once hot, add 1 Tbsp oil to the pot. Then, add the chicken wings and brown on both sides.

Add the sliced daikon and ginger to the pot. Then add the sake, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce. Add ½ cup water. Peel and add hard-boiled eggs. Close the lid, then select the Slow Cook mode and set the timer for 5 hours.

When the time is up, fold spinach into the other ingredients, then serve.
