Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Chicken Breast 1 pc (300g)
  • All-Purpose Flour 2 tbsp
  • All-Purpose Flour 4 tbsp
  • Potato Starch 2 tbsp

Seasonings

  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Salt 1/4 tsp
  • [B] Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
  • [B] Water 6 tbsp
  • [B] Aonori (Dried Green Seaweed) 2 tsp
  • [B] Salt and Pepper to taste

Steps

  1. Cut one chicken breast (300g) in half lengthwise, then diagonally into 1cm thick slices, and further into thin strips about 1cm wide.
  2. Place the cut chicken in a resealable bag, add 1 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) and 1/4 tsp Salt, mix well, and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, gradually whisk in 1 tbsp Mayonnaise and 6 tbsp Water until smooth.
  4. Once the mayonnaise and water mixture is combined, add 4 tbsp All-Purpose Flour, 2 tbsp Potato Starch, 2 tsp Aonori (Dried Green Seaweed), and a pinch of Salt and Pepper, then mix to create the batter.
  5. Add 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour to the bag with the marinated chicken. Seal the bag, inflate it with air, and shake to coat the chicken evenly with flour.
  6. Heat about 3cm of oil in a frying pan to a medium temperature of 170°C (340°F). A good indication is when small bubbles immediately form around a chopstick inserted into the oil.
  7. Dip the floured chicken into the batter, letting any excess drip off. It's best to add the chicken to the oil while it's still slightly stretched out.
  8. Fry the chicken for about 3-4 minutes. If tempura scraps float to the surface during frying, remove them as they can make the oil dirty.
  9. Remove the fried chicken from the oil and drain on a wire rack.
  10. Coat and fry the remaining chicken in the same manner.
  11. Once drained, plate and serve. If you find it a bit bland, it's also delicious with extra salt or a side of mayonnaise.
