Instructions:
-
Prepare for Steaming:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil for steaming. Line the steaming tray with a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
-
Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the minced chicken breast, egg, all-purpose flour, grated carrot, grated cheese, water, finely chopped celery, salt, ground pepper, ground coriander, and seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
-
Steam the Mixture:
- Pour the mixture into a steaming tray, spreading it evenly. Steam over the boiling water for about 10 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean. Let it cool slightly.
-
Cut and Coat:
-
Once cooled, cut the steamed mixture into bite-sized pieces or nuggets as desired.
-
Prepare a coating station: Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. In another dish, mix 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with a little water to create a paste for binding.
-
Dip each nugget in the flour paste, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
-
-
Fry the Nuggets:
-
Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated nuggets in the pan.
-
Fry the nuggets until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
