Korean Fried Chicken

Korean Fried Chicken recipe

I happened across a box of Chicken Drummers in the Yellow Sticker fridge, which seemed like likely candidates for an Asian recipe....

Ingredients for the Chicken:-

2 Chicken drummers per serving, soaked in Buttermilk
2 Eggs, beaten
1 Tsp of Rock Salt
½ Tsp of Ground Black Pepper
½ Tsp of Baking Powder
½ Tsp of Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp of Ginger Powder
70g of Cornflour
Oil for frying

Method:-

(1) Remove the Chicken from the Buttermilk.
(2) Mix all the dry ingredients with the Cornflour.
(3) Dunk the Chicken pieces individually in the Cornflour mixture.
(4) Coat in the Egg wash and then coat in the Cornflour mixture again.
(5) Fry in a deep fat fryer until they are cooked through and golden brown.
(6) Drain on kitchen paper.
(7) Serve with the Sauce drizzled over the top.

Ingredients for the Sauce:-

3 Tbsp of Butter / Margarine
5 Red Dried Chillies
1 Tbsp of fresh Ginger, minced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tsp of White Misu
2 Tbsp of Chilli Sauce
2 Tbsp of Tomato Ketchup
1 Tbsp of Rice Vinegar
1 Tbsp of (Gluten free) Soy Sauce
60 Ml of clear runny Honey

Method:-

(1) In a pan melt the Butter / Margarine.
(2) Add all the other ingredients.
(3) Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened.

We served ours on a bed of boiled Rice Noodles, garnished with a sprinkling of Peanuts, Sesame Seeds and sliced Spring Onions.

These steaks were in a discount pack at the local Lidl. They were effectively a pound each. Not the greatest in the world, but very tasty none the less.

Ingredients:-

2 Ranch Steaks
½ a Red Onion, finely diced
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
½ a Red Chilli, finely chopped
1 Tsp of fresh Ginger, grated
½ a Tsp of Chinese Five Spice
1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
1 Tbsp of Honey
1 Tbsp of Oyster Sauce
8 King Prawns
1 Spring Onion, finely sliced
Oil to Fry
Salt and Pepper

Method:-

(1) Season the Steaks with Salt & Pepper.
(2) Add Oil to a large frying pan and fry the Steaks on both sides to taste.
(3) Set aside to rest.
(4) Add a little more Oil to the frying pan and fry the Onions until softened.
(5) Add the Garlic, ginger and Five Spice and cook until fragrant.
(6) Stir in the Soy Sauce, Honey, Oyster Sauce and Prawns along with 4 Tbsp of water.
(7) Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the Prawns are cooked through.
(8) Spoon over the Steaks and garnish with Spring Onions and Bonito Flakes.

We finally found Bonito Flakes in an Asian supermarket. What we didn’t realise initially was that they react to heat and wriggle and wave. Which is cool, if perhaps a bit off-putting for some folk!
