Chicken Crispy Chinese is another most popular recipe across all over the world. Indian’s have a great taste for Chicken Crispy Chinese. Lot of joints in India offer Chicken Crispy Chinese as their starters. My hubby loves Chicken Crispy Chinese and even my brother Rohit loves them to the core. I thought of giving them a Chinese food surprise. So I had made for them Chicken Crispy Chinese and Chicken Chinese Fried Rice Indian for the dinner. They loved them a lot and I was happy they liked them so much. Sometimes it’s good to see people happy eating your handmade food right :)

Chicken Crispy Chinese
There are many ways of making Chicken Crispy Chinese. Some make batter of corn flour, some make of refined flour. I though of making this batter in my own style. I have added yeast to the batter to give that boost to the batter. Also yeast gives a nice look and texture to your chicken crispies. You could check thai red chicken curry recipe here.

Actually I have been getting a lot of requests to make Chicken Crispy Chinese. Hence I thought of making it for them. I am not a great fan of chicken I love fish I am trying to eat as less non veg as I can. Trying to be a vegetarian however fish is my weak point. Also because I don’t like egg so I have to rely on fish for protein intake.

Coming back to Chicken Crispy Chinese. You can actually club in a lot of veggies like pumpkin, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots etc. It’s a good way to make your family eat vegetables as they are coated so well with the batter. They are crispy so they won’t be able to identify which veggies they are eating! That’s the best part I usually make such combos and give to my hubby as he also has a lot of fuss with veggies ;

Total Time: 30 mins batter preparation + 30 mins frying + 5 mins making

Serves: 4 to 5 people

Ingredients:
    500 gms chicken (chopped into small pieces about an 1 Or 1.5 inch)
    2 tbsp oil + 2 cup oil for frying the veggies
    6 spring onion chopped (whites and green separated)
    2 green chilies finely chopped
    1 carrot chopped into long and thin slices just like potato chips
    1 potato chopped into thin and long pieces
    100 gms pumpkin chopped into thin and long pieces ( skin removed)
    100 gms broccoli florets
    6 baby corn chopped into thin long slices
    1/2 red bell pepper
    1/2 yellow bell pepper
    7 to 8 garlic minced
    1 inch ginger minced
    2 tbsp dark soy sauce
    2 tbsp chili-tomato sauce
    2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
    1 tbsp sugar
    salt Or ajinomoto as per taste ( I have used salt )

Batter:
    3 tbsp white sesame seed
    1 cup refined flour
    2 cup wheat flour
    1/2 cup corn flour
    1 cup lukewarm water
    2 tbsp dry yeast
    1 tbsp sugar
    pinch of salt

Method:
Very important clean and chop all veggies as instructed above. Keep them aside. Let’s make the batter for frying veggies. Take yeast in a cup with warm water. You should be able to dip your finger in the water. What I do is take water in a cup and microwave for just 30 secs and add yeast to it. Now add sugar as sugar helps in activation of yeast. Give it a stir add a pinch of salt. Now keep it in a humid place Or in your oven with beep on for 10 mins. If your yeast is bubbling and frothy it’s good to use. But if it’s not frothy please discard and replace with another yeast.

Sift all flour, salt and keep aside. Put yeast along with water. Add a cup of lukewarm water. Stir all nicely with a spoon. Frisk with a beater if required.

The batter should be lump free and smooth. It should be of thick consistency enough to coat your veggies. If it’s too thin it won’t coat your chicken and veggies. If it’s too thin add some flour if it’s too thick add little water. Keep this aside for 20-25 mins in a humid place.

Take a deep frying pan with oil. Place it on medium fire once oil is hot. Reduce the heat. Spread white sesame seed on a plate. Take sliced potatoes and dip one by one into the batter enveloping completely with the coating. Dip them into the oil. Repeat the same with all other veggies. Once nice golden brown and crisp remove them from fire.

For chicken also coat each piece in the batter. Just sprinkle some white sesame seeds on them. Now deep fry them until golden brown and crisp. Repeat the same process with all chicken pieces. Place them on absorbent napkins for oil absorption.

Now take a big wok. Add oil once oil is hot. Add minced garlic and ginger. Add whites of spring onion. Also put red and yellow bell pepper. Add sugar and green chilies. Saute nicely for 2 to 3 mins.

Add chili-tomato and soy sauce both. Put all the fried veggies and chicken pieces. Stir all nicely for 2 mins on high fire.

Lastly add salt and greens of spring onion. Stir for another 2 minutes. Now switch off the gas. Your Chicken Crispy Chinese is ready. Serve hot with Chinese stir fried rice Or noodles.
