I looked through those wonderful bloggers' submissions, and my eyes caught this dish by Violet's Kitchen
I can't read Chinese so my translation was done by Mr Google LOL
Simple to make and really delicious! My kids love the chicken without the lemon sauce
I love the sauce so much, the chicken is so yummy dipped in it
What you need:
3 boneless chicken legs
Marinade:
1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
pepper
1 tbsp corn flour
1 egg, beaten
Lemon sauce:
juice of a lemon
1 tbsp maltose (I used honey)
4 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp custard powder
Method:
- Mix marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for at least an hour
- Heat pan, grease slightly and pan fry chicken til golden brown both sides
- Serve immediately with lemon sauce
- Lemon sauce: Mix all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over low fire til slightly thickened
I marinated some of the chicken only with oyster sauce and sesame oil. Before cooking, I dipped in egg and then dust with corn flour - it yielded crispy skin while still maintained the juicy meat inside
I cooked a simple ABC soup to go with the chicken dish. Healthy hearty soup we all love :)
Recipe is from Food For Tots
What you need:
(I modified a little)
1 chicken carcass
2 sweetcorns, cut into four
2 bay leaves
1 onion, halved
2 large potatoes, cut into four
2 carrots, cut into chunks
3 stalks of celery, cut into chunks
2 tomatoes, quartered
salt and pepper
a pot of water
Method:
- Bring water to a boil. Add in chicken carcass, sweetcorns, bay leaves and onion. Bring back to boil and discard all residue
- Turn heat to low, simmer for 30mins. Then add in potatoes, carrots and celery. Simmer for another 1 1/2 hours. Add in tomatoes, simmer for further 15mins. Season with salt and pepper
The kids prefer the crispy chicken, while I and DH chose the pan fried type :)
