chicken karaage

japanese chicken karaage alongside brown rice, salad, pickled sweet green pepper and pickled cucumber all seasoned with salt

 

i liked the look of the karaage dish posted by Kirk K flic.kr/p/2q5MKpR and thought i'd like to make an attempt. i searched for a recipe and found this one tasty.co/recipe/karaage-fried-chicken

 

i've just found another recipe more informative worth a read japan.recipetineats.com/japanese-fried-chicken-karaage-ch...

and a karaage fish recipe thermosmalaysia.com/recipe/fish-karaage-japanese-fried-ma...

i adapted the karaage recipe. i didn't have any potato starch as recommended in the recipe. i replaced with chickpea flour

the chicken karaage was delicious though next time i'll make the crispy batter thinner and possibly the chicken pieces smaller. tasted great but could have looked better see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_8fAdx9BNk

 

pickled sweet green pepper www.sarsons.co.uk/how-to/pickling/

large sweet green peppers were washed and placed in a large pickling jar. then sarsons pickling vinegar was poured into the jar to completely cover the peppers, left for at least two weeks in the fridge, longer if possible

small cucumbers washed, wiped dry, sliced, placed in pickling jar, covered with sarsons pickling vinegar, eat as and when after two weeks in the fridge, store in the fridge
