Nagi's signature Japanese fried chicken - double fried for extra crispiness and irresistible flavor!
Ingredients:
  • 800g skinless chicken thigh fillets
  • 1.20 gm salt
  • 20.00 ml sake (Japanese rice wine)
  • 2 tsp mirin (sweet Japanese cooking wine)
  • 42.00 gm soy sauce
  • 3cm piece fresh ginger, finely grated
  • Vegetable oil, for deep frying
  • 65.00 gm cornflour
  • Shredded green cabbage, to serve
  • Halved cherry tomatoes, to serve
Instructions:
  • Dry the chicken pieces thoroughly with paper towel and cut them into 3cm pieces. Put the pieces in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Season with pepper and mix together. Add sake, mirin, soy sauce, and ginger. Toss well to coat evenly. Allow the mixture to marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Discard marinade from chicken and place back in bowl.
  • Heat a generous amount of oil in a large saucepan or wok. When the oil reaches 165C, coat the chicken in cornflour and fry in batches for 5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel.
  • Strain any crumbs from the oil using a slotted spoon. Increase heat to high until oil reaches 180C. Deep-fry chicken in batches for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towel and serve with cabbage and tomato.
