Youlinji (Chinese-Style Deep Fried Chicken with Sweet and Sour Sauce)
- 2 Chicken breast meat
- 1 Lettuce, katakuriko, frying oil
- 1 tbsp each Sake and soy sauce
- 4 tbsp each Soy sauce and vinegar
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- 5 cm Japanese green onion (negi)
- 1 Red chili peppers (sliced into rounds)
- Cut the chicken breast in half, and put several shallow cuts in the meat.
- Flavor the chicken with the sake and soy sauce.
- Wash the vegetables and drain.
- I used lettuce, radish sprouts and tomatoes this time.
- Mix all the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and green onion) together.
- Pat the chicken dry, to make a crispy crust.
- Coat the chicken with katakuriko.
- Fry the chicken in 340-355F/170-180C oil.
- Fry until well done and golden brown, turning occasionally.
- In the meantime, line a serving plate with the vegetables.
- You can also use carrots, cucumber, bell peppers or anything you like.
- Cut the freshly fried chicken into bite sizes (if you cut it perpendicularly to the cuts at Step 1, it'll be easy to eat).
- Put the meat on top of the lettuce from Step 8 while it's still piping hot, and pour the sauce on top.
- Done!
