Chicken Nanban

The chicken nanban I posted in my last post was pretty popular among my friends, so I'm posting the Ricepe today.

Chichken Nanban


Ingredients (4 servings): 
 Chicken part: Bone less chicken thigh or chicken breast       5-7 piece 
                        Flour       2 cups 
                        Egg (Lightly beaten)     1-2
                        Salt/Pepper      1-2 pinches  
                        Oil        for deep flying 
                         
 Marinade part: Soy sauce      4 tbl 
(Nanban sauce) Sugar             5 tbl
                          Vinegar         6 tbl
                          Dried chili (if you like spicy)          a pinch
   
      Tar Tar part: Onion (Diced)       1/4
                           Pickles (Diced)      3-4
                                   *I use the baby dill pickeles   
                           Mayo         7 tbl
                           Tomato Ketchap        2 tbl 
                           Salt/Pepper       1-2 pinches
                           Seeded mustard (your preference)       1 tbl

Step 1: Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces, salt and pepper and dip the chicken into beaten egg.       
            Set a side.

Step 2: Prepare the marinade by mixing all the ingredients together in a sauce pan, and heat it in a low    heat (or you can add them in a bowl and microwave it for 30-45 second). Set a side.

Step 3: Prepare the tar tar sauce by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.

Step 4: Heat oil in a saucepan ( least 10 cm deep) over medium heat for deep frying. Lightly coat the chicken (Step 1) with flour and set aside. Break off a tiny piece of chicken and drop in the oil to check the temperature. When the piece sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is hot and ready.

Step 5: Start deep frying the chicken coated in flour, and remove the chicken from oil when the color turn into golden blown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and deep fry the rest of chicken. Do not deep fry too many pieces of chicken at once because it will drop the temperature of oil.  

Step 6: To serve, dip the fried chicken in the marinade to coat, and arrange the pieces on a plate. pour the tar tar sauce over the chicken, and ready to eat!!! (The left over marinade sauce can be added to the plate because it gives extra flavor and tastes)

Enjoy my Recipe =)
