Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into small cubes and place them in a food processor.
Peel and mince the garlic. Roughly chop the green onions. Add both to the food processor.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, breadcrumbs, egg, black pepper, and salt to the food processor.
Pulse the ingredients together until a rough, sticky paste forms. Be careful not to over-process; the mixture should hold together but still have some texture.
Using slightly wet hands, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it into small balls. Place them on a plate or tray.
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Test the oil by dropping a small amount of the chicken mixture into it; it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully add the chicken balls to the hot oil in small batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the chicken balls for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining chicken balls until all are cooked.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as an accompaniment to noodles, rice, or vegetables.
