Cereal-Coated Crispy Chicken Bite‏ (麦片炸鸡)

0 comments

I have always been quite a coward when it comes to formulating a new recipe. It is usually safer to ride on someone else’s success and follow a tried and tested recipe, with a few small tweaks here and there. Chances of disappointment is much lower this way.

After a long long time, I finally found the courage to take a stab in the dark and managed to make this without a set recipe infront of me as guide. This is inspired by something we had at one of the kids’ favourite Japanese restaurant. I couldn’t find the recipe online but suspect the steps are similar to that of tonkatsu except for the coating.

This is a nice variation to the usual savoury tasting deep fried chicken. The instant cereal lends a hint of well-balanced sweetness.


Ingredients:
  • 4 chicken thighs (de-boned and cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon sesame oil
  • Nestum original instant cereal
  • Plain flour
  • 1 beaten egg

Preparation:
  • Marinate chicken with light soy sauce and sesame oil.
