Some leftover Chicken Wingettes, flat parts of Chicken Wings, have been sitting in the freezer for a long time and I needed to use them up. I didn’t want to use the oven as the amount was small. I decided to cook them in a frying pan. Honey & Soy Sauce flavour is popular, but …
Many supermarket stores in the area I live started to sell Sushi Rolls. They actually have sushi making kitchen in the stores. Those Sushi Rolls are very tempting.
