Easy and Economical Karaage-kun Made From Ground Chicken and Tofu
- 200 grams Ground (minced) chicken
- 1/3 of the amount of ground chicken Silken tofu
- 1/2 packet Kara-age flour
- 1 Oil (for deep-frying)
- 1 Lettuce, etc. (for garnish)
- These are the three ingredients for this recipe; ground chicken, silken tofu and kara-age flour.
- This time, I used "Nisshin kara-age flour".
- The flavor of these chicken balls differs depending on the kara-age flour you use.
- Place the silken tofu on a piece of kitchen paper.
- Microwave for 1 minute on each side to evaporate the moisture off.
- You don't need to cover the tofu with cling film to microwave.
- Put the ground chicken, silken tofu and kara-age flour in a bowl, then knead everything together with your hand.
- If you don't mix the kara-age flour and ground chicken really well, you may taste the kara-age flour when you eat it.
- So make sure to knead the mixture really well.
- When everything has mixed together, pour oil in a frying pan and turn on the heat.
- Roll the dough into bite-sized balls.
- When the oil has reached 180C, add the chicken balls into the oil.
- Once you've added all the chicken balls, turn the heat down from medium to low, and deep-fry them slowly.
- When the bubbles on the oil surface have become small, and the chicken balls are light brown and float to the surface, they are done.
- Scoop them out and cool on a rack.
- Garnish a serving plate with vegetable of your choice, transfer the chicken balls to the plate, then they are ready to serve.
- Please take a look at this recipe, too!

- Note: If you double the ingredients, 1 packet of kara-age flour would be too much.
- So, use about 3/4 of the packet!
