Experience the Japanese delight of karaage, a crispy fried dish perfect for any meal. Whether with chicken or vegetarian haloumi, pair with slaw, rice, or wrap for a delicious twist on a classic dish. By Sonya Gellert, Recipes Editor.
Ingredients:
  • 21.00 gm Asia soy sauce
  • 10.00 gm sushi seasoning
  • 20.00 ml finely grated fresh ginger
  • 500g chicken thigh fillets, cut into 3cm pieces
  • Vegetable oil, to deep-fry
  • 130g (1 cup) cornflour
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
Instructions:
  • In a glass or ceramic dish, mix together the soy sauce, sushi seasoning, and ginger. Add the chicken and toss until coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat it dry. Pour oil into a large saucepan until it reaches a 5cm depth. Heat the oil to 170°C over medium-high heat; you'll know it's ready when a cube of bread browns in 20 seconds. Spread the combined flours on a plate. Coat one-third of the chicken with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Cook for 4-5 minutes until cooked through, turning halfway. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel using tongs. Repeat with the remaining chicken and flour in two more batches, ensuring the oil is reheated between batches. Serve on a platter.
