Homemade Steamed Chicken Wings with Rice Powder

  On weekends, after over ten days of cloudy skies, the clear blue sky finally returned to our view. Following this came the high temperatures characteristic of summer. By Sunday, indoor temperatures had reached a new peak of 31 degrees Celsius. In such weather, cooking became less than pleasant; standing near a steaming stove made everyone sweat profusely. On days like these,steaming is an excellent choice. With properly cut ingredients and seasoned with the right spices, placing them in a steamer once it's full of steam allows one to relax in the living room until mealtime.This time, I made braised chicken wings. I ground my own rice flour without any additives; this method reduces oil intake and preserves food nutrients, making it a year-round cooking technique.
