SESAME CHICKEN

Preparation Method :

• Peel cucumber & cut it lengthwise into half. Scoop out seeds. Cut into 1" pieces.
• Sprinkle salt and place in a colander (metal strainer with holes) with a plate and a weight on top for about 15 minutes, to extract as much water as possible. Rinse under running water and dry thoroughly.
• Make a thick paste of the cucumber pieces in a blender.
• Mince the chicken meat finely.
• Mix chicken, cucumber paste, ginger, garlic, spring onion, salt, wine, ajinomoto and cornflour. Blend well. Keep aside.
• Beat 2 eggs lightly and make the thinnest possible omelettes of the size of a saucer. 2 eggs will give 10 wafer thin omelettes.
• Beat the remaining egg with flour and make a thick coating batter. Use water if necessary.
• Place a small quantity of the chicken mixture in the centre of each omelette and roll up into parcels approx ¾ " thick and 2½ " long.
• Coat the outside of the parcels carefully with the thick batter and sprinkle sesame seeds all over.
• Heat the oil in the wok or a frying pan and fry the parcels gently for 5 minutes turning very carefully till golden brown. Serve hot.
