Crispy Fried Chicken

2 Comments


I seldomly cook deep fried food, because it wastes too much oil, and the kitch will become greasy.

So when I prepared for this dish, I really thinker very hard to use oil as less as I can.

1. Cut chicken into small pieces. I made them one-bite size. And I chose boneless chicken leg.

2. Marinate chicken with minced garlic & Ginger, a little salt and black pepper powder and cooking wine. For about 15 minutes.

3. Coated chicken with egg and then frying powder.

4. Heat oil in a small pot. I just add oil half height of the chicken piece. Try the heat with a chopstick, if there are many small bubbles showing up around the chopstick, it means the oil’s heat is OK!

5. Start frying till the surface turns golden brown.


Just marinate with a little salt. Cos I forgot salt already exists in frying powder. So my fried chicken is a bit salty. But it’s crisp.

Quick Fried Dumplings

I love dumplings. Maybe because I come from northern part of China, I have an affection for dumplings. Every time I miss my hometown, I feel like having some dumplings.

Except commonly seen dumplings cooked in boiling water, another way is to fry them. 

It’s not complicted. And it’s also a quick and convenient dish, since I always buy some frozen dumplings in the fridge in case that I miss them or I feel tired and not like cooking.

1. Pour a little oil in the pan. ( non-stick pan) Swirl the pan a little to make the oil cover the whole pan.

2. Put the frozen dumplings ( freshly-made ones are also ok) in the pan. Better place them in order. 


In a square shape or circle.

3. Let dumplings stay in the pan and fry for a while. When their bottoms get golden brown, add in water to the height as tall as 1/3 height of the dumplings. Then cover the pan with lid.

4. After several minutes, water in the pan will become less. Before it’s almost dry, pour in some flour water. ( ratio should be flour: water=1:10) Sprinkle some black sesame and chopped spring onion as well.


Just wait till the water is dry with low heat.



Dumplings’ bottoms taste crunchy.
