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.
Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say. A month or so ago we wanted a bit of a side dish to go with a meal but didn't have much in.
We had ½ a Celeriac, some Onions and a couple of rather sad Carrots. It's amazing what you can create (Or more specifically Sue can invent) from next to nothing. We've had similar versions on several occasions but today's was the best so far. It knocks the spots of shop bought Coleslaw.
Ingredients:-
Onions, Celeriac, Carrot. All finely sliced in roughly equal proportions
A dash of White Wine Vinegar
The juice of ½ a Lemon
Fresh chopped Parsley (Just for a bit of colour)
Mayonnaise
Method:-
(1) As simple as mixing everything together and serving really.
The crunch of the Celeriac and the sharpness of the Vinegar and Lemon really work well together.
