Batter for Frying - Oriental Recipe image

I've been looking for a good Chicken Fingers batter and found this on: http://www.recipes-4u.co.uk/asian/Batter-For-Frying---Oriental.html. Cook time is NOT passive so I didn't enter any specific time.

Time 20m

Yield 1 lb meat/poultry/fish

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 eggs, beaten
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1/2 teaspoon fresh garlic, finely minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons sherry wine
1 teaspoon fresh gingerroot, put thru garlic press

Steps:

  • Mix eggs, salt, garlic, flour, cornstarch, and milk to make a smooth batter.
  • Mix honey, lemon juice, sherry and ginger together and marinate shrimp (split in back), lobster (cut in cubes), chicken (cut in pieces 1" x 2"), or thin-sliced pork for at least 15 minutes.
  • Fry dipped pieces in peanut oil until light brown.
  • OPTION:
  • Cool fried pieces after frying, then refrigerate, if desired, and later redip in batter, refry until golden brown. Even crunchier, and great as appetizers for a party that you can prepare ahead and still serve HOT at the last minute! It makes enough batter for 1 lb. of Shrimp, Lobster Meat, Chicken or Pork.
