Chicken Karaage

Posted November 5th, 2010 in Food No Comments »

I’m eating fried food too often these days….

Sometimes I feel like eating “meat”, and last night was the day! I had some Japanese mayonnaise left in the fridge, so I made karaage with buffalo wings. Meat with bone and skin on is much tastier and I often find cheaper.

You can put all ingredients in a plastig bag and marinate, which leaves your hands and chopping board clean. Toss the ingredients around inside the bag so that all the flavour goes to the meat evenly.

I served it with steamed rice, Japanese mayonnaise, and lots n lots of lettuce (or shredded cabbage)!

500g buffalo wings
2 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs sake
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, minced
2 tbs corn flour to coat

Place wings in a plastic bag, and add the sauces, garlic and ginger. Marinate for 5 minutes.
Add corn flour to the plastic bag, and coat the meat evenly. The flour becomes paste-like.
Heat oil in a deep pan to 160~170℃. Fry the wings until golden.

* You can, of course, use chicken meat without skin/bones. Also try octopus, squid, fish and seafood!
