how to make Chicken Seaweed Rolls
Ingredients :
- 500 grams ground chicken breast
- 1 small carrot, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 chicken broth cube (or 1 tsp chicken powder)
- 1-2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 pc egg
- 10-12 pcs nori sheets
- 3/4 cup water
- 4 tbsp cornstarch
- Cooking oil for frying
Directions :
- In a mixing bowl, add the chicken filling ingredients. Mix well together with clean hands until incorporated.
- In a small bowl, mix 3/4 cup of water and about 4 tbsp of cornstarch. This will serve as the batter for sealing and soaking before frying later.
- On a clean, flat surface, lay a seaweed sheet. Spoon about 2-3 tbsp of the chicken filling and place this on one end of the seaweed. Roll tightly into a small log shape. Brush a small amount of the cornstarch batter on one end of the seaweed sheet, then seal. Cut each chicken roll into 4 equal pieces using scissors.
- Dip each roll into the cornstarch batter, then deep fry in hot cooking oil until golden brown. Drain excess oil on a wire rack.
- Serve with ketchup or sweet chili sauce.
