Mochiko Sesame Chicken Recipes

MOCHIKO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Chop the chicken into 1-inch, bite-size pieces.
• Mix all the other ingredients (mochiko flour, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, eggs, salt, garlic, and green onions) together in a bowl.
• Add the chicken to the bowl and marinate overnight (or at least 8 hours) in fridge.
• Fill a small pot 1" high with vegetable oil. Deep fry on medium-high heat until the chicken is crisp and golden brown. This takes about 6 minutes. Eat with rice ^_^

HAWAIIAN STYLE MOCHIKO CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix together mochiko, corn starch, sugar, eggs, shoyu, salt, sesame oil, garlic and ¼ cup of green onions.
• Cut chicken into bite size pieces for quick and even cooking.
• Fold chicken into batter and let marinate in the refrigerator for 24 to a maximum of 48 hours.
• Stir mochiko chicken batter every once in a while so that the flavor is evenly distributed.
• For large batches (for parties) I marinate it for at least 24hrs in a large bowl or pot, then I double Ziploc bag it, in batches and store them in a cooler on ice until I'm ready to cook it.
• When ready, Deepfry chicken for about 5 - 7 minutes or until dark golden brown and place in a pan lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
• Garnish with chopped green onion and sesame seeds.
• If using chicken breasts, cook for 3 to 4 minutes and serve hot, the chicken will be nice and tender.
