Mochi Chicken Recipe
Serve mochi chicken as a main dish with fried rice, potato salad, or macaroni salad, as you would any other fried chicken. It is also great as an appetizer because it is a perfect finger food. Suggested dipping sauces: pineapple or mustard sauce, hot mustard, or sweet and sour sauce.
2 pounds boned chicken
1/2 cup mochiko flour (glutinous rice flour)
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup soy
1 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, beaten
1 stalk of green onions, chopped fine
4 cloves garlic, minced
Bone the chicken and cut into plump finger-size nuggets and set aside. Combine the remaining ingredients and mix well. Add the chicken. Marinate overnight.
Deep-fry at 350 degrees, keeping the pieces from sticking together. Drain the nuggets of excess oil.
Yield: about 40 pieces
