instructions
    1

    In a large bowl, mix the soy sauce, water, sugar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves. This will be the marinade.

    2

    Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, then cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

    3

    After marinating, heat a large pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of sesame oil.

    4

    Once hot, add the marinated chicken wings (reserve the marinade) to the pan.

    5

    Sear the wings for about 5 minutes until they are golden brown on one side, then flip them over.

    6

    Add the reserved marinade to the pan and bring it to a gentle simmer.

    7

    Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through.

    8

    After 20 minutes, remove the lid and let the sauce reduce for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

    9

    Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the dish as a garnish before serving.
