Vegetarian fried chicken bites
If you are a lover of fried chicken but you are vegetarian or you want to opt for a vegetarian meal, this recipe is for you. You won't notice the different.
Equipment
- Cooking pot
- Pot
Ingredients
For the marinade
- 1 egg
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ginger 2cm, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 5 tablespoons potato starch or corn starch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pepper
Additionally
- dry soy chunks they replace about 400g of chicken so about three to four of handfuls of dry soy chunks should do it
- panko
- lemon
- oil for deep-frying
Instructions
- Cook the dry soy chunks according to the package instructions. Usually, this means boiling them for only a few minutes until they turn soft and then draining them of excess water. You can add a vegetable stock cube to the water to have more taste. Dry the chunks well by pressing the water away from them over a sieve.
- Combine all the ingredients of the marinade and mix well. Add the cooked and well-dried soy chunks. Mix well. Leave the marinade in the fridge for at least 30minutes (more for a stronger flavor).
- Prepare a plate of panko. Take the marinade from the fridge and mix again (the potato starch sticks to the bottom otherwise). Roll each piece in panko and set aside to be fried.
- Heat enough oil to deep-fry in a pot over medium-high heat. Fry the pieces in the oil for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the pieces from the oil and drain them on a paper towel. Serve with lemon juice.
