Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- chicken 300g
- salt a pinch
- pepper a pinch
- mirim 1 tablespoon
- starch powder 1/2 cup
- soy sauce 8 tablespoons
- water 8 tablespoons
- sugar 3 tablespoons
- vinegar 5 tablespoons
- green chili peppers 2
- scallions 1/2 bunch
- vegetable oil as needed
Recipe 🍳
- Make shallow cuts into the chicken and pat dry with kitchen paper to remove surface moisture.
- Season the prepared chicken with salt, pepper, and mirim, then marinate for a while.
- Lightly coat the marinated chicken with starch powder, then gently shake off any excess to prevent clumping.
- In a bowl, mix together soy sauce 8 tablespoons, water 8 tablespoons, sugar 3 tablespoons, and vinegar 5 tablespoons to make the sauce.
- Fry the chicken in heated oil over medium heat until fully cooked through and golden brown.
- Slice the fried chicken into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a serving plate.
- Top the chicken with finely chopped green chili peppers and thinly sliced scallions, then pour the prepared sauce over.
- Score the chicken and marinate with salt, pepper, and mirim.
- Coat with starch and fry in oil until crispy on the inside and out.
- Prepare the soy sauce glaze and serve over the fried chicken with scallions and chili peppers.
Cooking tips 💡
- If the chicken is thick, it may not cook through in the center—frying over medium-low heat ensures even cooking without burning.
- Use plenty of finely chopped green chili peppers to cut through the richness and add a clean, sharp flavor.
