- 2 pinches of sea salt for fresh flavor

- A dash of pepper to enhance aroma
Dipping Sauce

For Removing Chicken Breast Odor
- 1 cup soju (or cooking wine) for a mild flavor
- 1 cup soju (or cooking wine) for a mild flavor
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s important to remove any gamey smell from the chicken breast. Wash the 2 chicken breasts thoroughly, then soak them in 1 cup of soju for about 10 minutes. Soju effectively removes the fishy odor of chicken and tenderizes the meat.
Step 2
Rinse the soaked chicken breast under running cold water. After rinsing, use paper towels or a clean cloth to thoroughly pat dry the surface of the chicken breast. This prevents oil splattering when frying or baking and helps achieve a crispier result.
Step 3
Cut the dried chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Cutting them into pieces that fit comfortably in one bite (about 2-3 cm) makes them easy to wrap with rice paper and ensures even cooking.
Step 4
Season the prepared chicken breast with 2 pinches of sea salt and a dash of pepper, mixing well. This pre-seasoning enhances the natural flavor of the chicken breast, making it more delicious.
Step 5
Now it’s time for the rice paper. Prepare a generous amount of lukewarm or warm water in a wide plate or bowl. It’s good if the water is enough to fully submerge the rice paper.
Step 6
Dip one sheet of rice paper at a time into the prepared warm water and soak for about 10-20 seconds until softened. Be careful not to soak for too long, as it might tear. Place the seasoned chicken breast on the softened rice paper and wrap it neatly, like making a kimbap roll.
Step 7
Ideally, use one sheet of rice paper per piece of chicken breast. Wrapping too many layers might take longer to cook or result in a less pleasant texture.
Step 8
Arrange the rice paper-wrapped chicken breast rolls neatly in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the outside with oil, ensuring it’s evenly coated, for a crispier and more appealing finish. Leave some space between each roll so they don’t touch.
Step 9
Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F), then place the chicken breast rice paper rolls inside and cook for a total of 20 minutes. Cook for 10 minutes, then flip them over and cook for another 10 minutes to ensure both sides are golden brown and crispy. (Check their status midway to prevent burning.)
Step 10
This is the Sriracha sauce, which pairs perfectly with this dish. Sriracha sauce offers a delightful balance of spicy and subtly sweet flavors. It’s a popular choice for many dieters because you can enjoy it guilt-free without worrying about high calories.
Step 11
Look at these beautifully cooked chicken breast rice paper rolls! The outside is delicately crispy thanks to the rice paper, while the inside is juicy and tender chicken breast. It might not be ‘super crunchy,’ but you’ll enjoy a pleasant texture with a nutty flavor with every bite.
Step 12
Dipping the perfectly cooked chicken breast rice paper rolls into the spicy Sriracha sauce is truly heavenly! When you’re tired of bland diet food, enjoying it with a spicy sauce like this can stimulate your appetite and provide a sense of fullness. It’s far better to diet healthily and enjoyably rather than starving yourself. We hope you enjoy this delicious meal and achieve your diet goals healthily! ^^
