Easy and Economical Karaage-kun Made From Ground Chicken and Tofu
I was trying to come up with an easy recipe, when I had a flash of inspiration to make this while I was watching some TV.
You can just eyeball the amount of tofu, but don't add more than 1/3 of the amount of ground chicken. If you add too much tofu, the dough will be too soft, and you might think the tofu is overpowering!
In fact, these chicken balls maybe even tastier when cold! They are great for a bento box as well. For 2 servings. Recipe by Sue

Cooking Instructions
- 1
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.
- 2
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.
- 3
Put the ground chicken, silken tofu and kara-age flour in a bowl, then knead everything together with your hand.
- 4
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.
- 5
When everything has mixed together, pour oil in a frying pan and turn on the heat. Roll the dough into bite-sized balls.
- 6
When the oil has reached 180℃, 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.
- 7
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.
- 8
Garnish a serving plate with vegetable of your choice, transfer the chicken balls to the plate, then they are ready to serve.

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

The Chicken Karaage The Chicken Karaage
I love karaage and I've tried all kinds of different seasonings. I wondered how it would work with white wine to give it a western touch, and after several experiments I finally have this result!This is an izakaya (Japanese gastropub) style karaage that's well flavored. If you are watching your salt intake, reduce the amount of each of the seasonings.The key points are to adjust the katakuriko potato starch flour coating and the frying method. Recipe by Izumiuna -
Crispy and Juicy Chicken Karaage Crispy and Juicy Chicken Karaage
I love chicken karaage. I took out the best parts from several recipes. The TV program Tameshite Gatten featured how to deep fry twice. Their way was more detailed, but my way is easier.The combination of rice flour and Katakuriko potato starch makes the chicken skin crispy. Use only ginger juice, otherwise the fiber of the ginger will get burned. It's ok to use grated ginger though. Deep frying twice makes the skin crispy and juicy inside. I don't care so much about the amount of the ingredients, so it's fine to adjust it as you like. Recipe by Harukarubi -
