When I worked at my first job, 14 years ago, we would order food from a little Chinese restaurant at night. One of us would have to leave to go pick it up as it was too far from work to deliver. We all got the exact same order each Friday night. I kid you not!
In fact I had a manger that would always order the hot and sour soup, he could not handle spicy. As a little fun, whomever turn it was to pick up the food had to ‘spike’ his food with some chili oil. Yes we were terrible employees…when he ate the soup he would lean back in his chair and fan himself, and say ‘oh it is spicy tonight’.
One night the manager came in before we could spike his hot and sour soup, well while he was eating it he said to us ‘oh it does not taste good tonight, there is no flavor to it!” LMBO.
He never knew we spiked his soup.
I always got the Fried Chicken Wings and Vegetable Fried Rice. Always!
To this day…14 years later I still get the same thing. Fried Chicken Wings and Veggie Fried Rice. Yes that place is still open and going strong! It is the best Chinese food ever! Fresh Wok in Minneapolis!
I cannot tell you how many times I have tried to make their chicken wings and have failed…Either it was too much batter, or the batter would fall off while frying or it won’t have the right texture or flavor. Well while waiting for my food one evening I saw the chef frying my wings. It was pre-fried one time already. So all he did was pop it back into the hot oil for 3-4 minutes and it was done! Which is why they are always able to give you hot, fresh chicken wings with each order!
I do believe I have finally nailed it this time! It sure beats better than driving 25 minutes both ways just to get some chicken wings!
