Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1.5 lbs chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup mochiko (sweet rice flour)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Optional Toppings: Furikake, Sriracha Mayo
Sriracha Mayo:
- 1/2 cup Kewpie mayonnaise
- 1-2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to spice preference)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix mochiko, all-purpose flour, black pepper, soy sauce, garlic, and mirin. Add the beaten eggs to this mixture, stirring until you have a thick batter.
- Add the chicken pieces to the batter and coat thoroughly. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil to around 350°F (175°C) over medium heat. When the chicken goes into the oil, it should bubble, but not splatter excessively.
- Fry the chicken in small batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove chicken and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a small bowl, mix the Kewpie mayonnaise and sriracha until smooth. Drizzle the sriracha mayo over the mochi chicken and sprinkle furikake on top. Enjoy!
