Fried fish with egg white batter

Saturday, August 7, 2010

Eric really like fried food, but who doesn't? he is like a child who's complain if the dish doesn't fry, and will lighten up if i served the dish like this. I know it's not healthy, don't worry i forced him to take a lot of vitamin supplement to make up for this. 

Ingredients:
  • 300 gr. Fish fillet, cut strip (I use perch fillet)
  • salt and pepper according to taste
Batter:
  • 3 egg white
  • 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp corn starch
1. Marinate the fish with salt and pepper, and set aside.
2. Beat the egg white until it stiff, what i meant stiff is when you turned the bowl, the batter has not fallen down.
3. Add the flour and corn starch to the batter.
4. Dip the fish strip to the batter, deep fried it in the wok for 3 minutes. Remove and serve in the serving dish.

P.S. : I recommend to use electric mixer to stir the egg white to achieve perfect consistency.

Crispy Black Pepper Chicken

Sunday, August 1, 2010

This black pepper chicken dish is different from black pepper beef, the flavor is in the chicken itself.
Ingredients:
  • 300 gr chicken breast, diced
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
Other Ingredients:
  • Half onion, cut wedges
  • 1 Tbsp of fresh crush black pepper
  • Bell pepper (optional)
  • dash of salt
1. Mix the chicken with the lime juice first, this step is to eliminate the 'fishy' smell from the chicken, and marinate the chicken with the rest of the ingredients for 2 hours or more.
2. Heat the wok, and add 1 cup of oil in the wok, fried the chicken until it cook, it takes around 3-5 minutes. Remove from the wok and set aside.
3. Remove the oil from the wok, and reheat the wok, add 1 Tbsp oil in the wok, and fry the onion until fragrance, add the bell pepper if you use any, and the chicken. Stir fry to mix and add the dash of the salt and the black pepper. Remove from the wok and serve.


P.S.: Best if you crushed the black pepper yourself using the mortal and pestle, the texture of rough black pepper add the extra crisp to this dish.
