Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- chicken thigh meat 300g
- starch powder 1 cup
- egg white 1 portion
- lettuce 1/4 head
- green onion 1/2 stalk
- green chili pepper 2 pieces
- red chili pepper 1 piece
- soy sauce 3 tablespoons
- vinegar 3 tablespoons
- sugar 2.5 tablespoons
- water 3 tablespoons
- sesame oil 1 teaspoon
- vegetable oil generously
Recipe 🍳
- Use a knife to gently flatten the thicker parts of the chicken thigh meat to ensure even thickness throughout.
- Mix starch powder with egg white and a little water to make a frying batter, then evenly coat the prepared chicken.
- Fry the chicken in preheated oil until golden brown in the first round, then remove from the oil.
- Gently tap the fried chicken with a utensil to release moisture and air, then increase the oil temperature and fry again for a second time to achieve maximum crispiness.
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, water, and sesame oil in the specified amounts, then add finely chopped green onion, green chili pepper, and red chili pepper to make the yurin-gi sauce.
- Place torn lettuce pieces on a plate, top with the crispy fried chicken, and evenly drizzle with the prepared sauce.
- Flatten chicken thigh meat with a knife to make it thin and even.
- Coat the chicken with starch batter and deep-fry once until golden.
- After removing the fried chicken, lightly tap it with a utensil, then re-fry at higher heat for extra crispiness.
- Mix soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, water, and sesame oil, then stir in chopped green onion and chili peppers to create the sauce.
- Place fried chicken on top of lettuce and sprinkle with sauce to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- After the first frying, gently tap the chicken with the back of a knife or utensil to expel internal moisture—this helps achieve much crispier results during the second frying.
- Cut the chicken just before adding the sauce to prevent the coating from breaking apart and to keep the presentation neat.
