Main Ingredients- 1 Chicken breast steak (approx. 100-150g)
- A little eggplant (about 1/3 of a small eggplant)
- 1 Shiitake mushroom (fresh or rehydrated dried)
- 2 Tbsp Glutinous rice flour
- 2 Eggs
Seasoning & Others- Olive oil (for frying)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Olive oil (for frying)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the chicken breast steak. Finely mince the chicken breast using a fork or the back of a knife, or use a food processor for a smoother texture. If you prefer some texture, you can chop it into small pieces.
Step 2
Wash the eggplant thoroughly and chop it into pieces similar in size to the chicken breast, or slightly smaller. Remove the stems from the shiitake mushroom and slice it similarly. Fresh shiitake mushrooms will offer a richer aroma.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the minced chicken breast, chopped eggplant, and shiitake mushroom. Add 2 tablespoons of glutinous rice flour and season lightly with salt and pepper according to your preference. Mix and knead the ingredients by hand until a cohesive batter forms. The glutinous rice flour will help bind the mixture, creating a smooth batter.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of olive oil. Spoon portions of the batter onto the hot pan, shaping them into round or oval fritters. Avoid making them too thick so they cook through evenly.
Step 5
Cook until golden brown on both sides. Once one side is cooked, carefully flip the fritters and cook the other side until golden brown and crispy. The outside should be crisp, while the inside remains moist with the chicken breast and vegetables. Coating them in beaten egg before frying will result in an even more tender and flavorful fritter.
Step 6
Arrange the nicely cooked chicken breast and eggplant fritters on a plate. Serve them immediately while warm. You can enjoy them with a side of soy-based dipping sauce or ketchup, if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
