I learned this from my older brother. He says this recipe went through many stages before finally reaching its current format.I think he taught me a version that used egg some time ago....When he taught me this recipe I was really impressed at how delicious it was! It's delicious when cold, so let's use it for bentos!Since you don't use any soy sauce this karaage doesn't burn as easily, and is juicy inside and crispy outside and full of umami.Use just the juice from grated ginger - this is a point my brother is particular about. No need for any pepper.You can just use a little garlic, or leave it out. Recipe by Okaraseijin

I try a lot of different varieties of karaage when I got bored with the normal one.The flavor changes a lot depending on how much garlic, ginger and black pepper you use. Have fun experimenting.It's delicious if you rest the marinated chicken in the fridge to allow the flavor to blend.Once you put the meat in the oil, don't touch it until the batter turns firm!When the batter has hardened, you can separate the pieces of meat or turn them over.

I used to work at a Chinese restaurant when I was a student. Their fried chicken was so good so I've been trying to recreate the recipe at home. I don't think it's quite exact yet but I think I've almost got the taste down. Gobble the lot on your own or share with friends.-Don't add all of the seasoning ingredients at the same time! Add them in the order of 1, 2 & 3.-The more lard that you fry these in, the more aromatic they'll become.-This fried chicken is fried twice so you don't have to cook them through completely on the first fry.-Try seasoning with some Shichuan pepper salt, or even ketchup!

My husband put in a request for garlic flavored karaage.I just used whatever I had on hand at home.And my husband and the kids found it to be really delicious! I made a well-received karaage.When frying in step 8 please avoid quickly touching the meat with chopsticks, etc.For turning the meat over, etc, wait until a minute after you start to fry them.The meat won't clump together in the pot, so it's okay.

I got some hints about frying karaage from a TV programme, and tried making my own.This is flavoured with the seasonings my family has always used when making karaage.Once you've put the chicken in the pan, don't touch it with chopsticks or anything else until the oil heats up.You can use a mixture of katakuriko and flour at a ratio of katakuriko 8: flour:2. You can add egg too, if you like. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

My husband and children love this karaage.I only use katakuriko, so if you like crunchy karaage, you will love it.Fry the chicken over medium heat to start with, then raise the oil temperature at the end. It will be crunchy like the ones you eat at a restaurant. Recipe by O-tanmamma

You can arrange the seasoning as you like! Try varying condiments and seasoning time so that you can cook original flavor of Karaage. Adding soy sauce at Step 1 is also good, and also using other condiments such as curry powder or other spices.

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

Chicken Karaage with selaé

I always made this recipe with chicken thighs, so this time I tried making a version with chicken breasts.If you're making this for small children, it's best to leave out the shichimi chili pepper. For 4 servings. Recipe by Hokkori-no

I couldn't really make good fried chicken so my mother-in-law taught me this recipe My husband happily enjoys this recipe.My family likes a thicker flavor so we let it marinate for 1 hour. This would also be great for Chicken Wings. Recipe by Iyocchi

This was introduced on TV by a cooking professional some time ago.That version included marinating the chicken in grated onion and apple.I've omitted the apple, but it's still plenty soft.The enzymes in the onion will soften the chicken.If you mix in the dry ingredients without draining it your coating will be nice and strong when you fry it.
