Sprinkle the wings with a little salt. Remember that soy sauce is salty, so during the frying process, the main thing is not to oversalt it. Season the wings with crushed red pepper. Add a little turmeric if desired.
Fry the wings until golden brown on both sides. Once they are fried, add a few cloves of garlic, chopped or pressed through a garlic press, to the pan. You also need to squeeze the juice of half a lemon.
