Ingredients
Chicken and Seasoning
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon finely minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
Tempura Batter
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/2 cup cake flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup ice-cold water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breast: Use a meat tenderizer to pound the chicken so that its thinner and flatter. This allows the chicken to cook more evenly.
- Cut the chicken into thin strips.
- Season the chicken: Add chicken strips to a large bowl. Then season with salt, pepper, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Mix well.
- Make the tempura batter: In a large bowl, sift cake flour, baking soda and cornstarch. Then add the beaten egg. Gradually add water and mix until everything is combined. (Make sure not to over-mix the batter.)
- Coat the chicken: Add the seasoned chicken strips to the batter and coat well.
- Heat the oil: Heat the oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or Dutch oven.
- Fry the chicken: Add a few pieces of the battered chicken at a time. Fry for about 4 minutes total until crispy and golden brown (flipping half way through). Remove with a slotted spoon and place the chicken onto a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with the rest of the chicken strips. Serve and enjoy!
