Cheesy Chicken Nugget Noodles
Ingredients:
- 70 grams dry egg noodles, cooked and drained (I used flat noodles)
- 100 grams minced chicken
- 50 grams grated cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon powdered milk, dissolved in 75 ml water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- Salt, sugar, and chicken bouillon powder to taste
- For coating:
- Flour mixed with water
- Bread crumbs
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Aromatics: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, minced chicken, grated carrot, grated cheddar cheese, dissolved powdered milk, flour, and the egg. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Season with salt, sugar, and chicken bouillon powder to taste. Mix again to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
-
Steam the Mixture: Line a baking tray or dish with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Spread the noodle mixture evenly in the tray. Steam for about 25 minutes. Cover the steamer with a clean cloth to prevent condensation from dripping onto the mixture.
-
Cool and Slice: Once steamed, remove from the steamer and let it cool completely. Cut into bite-sized pieces or shape as desired.
-
Coat the Nuggets: Prepare a dipping station with flour mixed with water for coating, and place the bread crumbs in a separate bowl. Dip each piece of the nugget mixture into the flour mixture, then coat with bread crumbs, ensuring an even coating. Repeat until all pieces are coated.
-
Cook and Serve: The coated nuggets can either be stored in the freezer for future use or fried immediately. To fry, heat oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the nuggets until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
