-
Incorporate Carrots:
- Add the grated carrots to the chicken mixture. Stir well to ensure the carrots are evenly distributed throughout.
-
Prepare for Steaming:
- Grease a steaming tray or dish with a little vegetable oil. For extra convenience, line the tray with banana leaves if available.
- Pour the chicken and carrot mixture into the prepared tray, smoothing it out into an even layer.
-
Steam the Mixture:
- Preheat your steamer. Place a clean cloth over the lid to catch any condensation and prevent it from dripping onto the mixture.
- Steam the mixture for 30 minutes. Make sure the steamer is hot before you begin.
-
Cool and Slice:
- Once steamed, remove the tray from the steamer and let it cool. Once cooled, cut the steamed mixture into bite-sized pieces according to your preference.
-
Coat the Nuggets:
- Dip each piece into a bowl of flour to coat lightly. Then, dip them into a mixture of flour and water to create a thin batter. Finally, coat with breadcrumbs.
- Arrange the coated nuggets on a tray and freeze them briefly to help the coating adhere better.
-
Cooking:
- When ready to serve, you can either fry or bake the nuggets. To fry, heat oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the nuggets until golden and crispy. To bake, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and bake the nuggets on a parchment-lined tray until golden and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
