   • Transfer the blended mixture to a large mixing bowl.
   • Add the egg, tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

3. Cooking the Nuggets:

   • Grease a loaf pan or a steaming tray with a little vegetable oil.
   • Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.
   • Steam the mixture for 45 minutes. You can use a traditional steamer or a steaming rack in a large pot.
   • Once cooked, remove from the steamer and allow it to cool completely.

4. Cutting and Breading:

   • Once the steamed chicken mixture has cooled, remove it from the pan.
   • Cut the chicken mixture into nugget-sized pieces.
   • Prepare a breading station by mixing the 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with the 8 tablespoons of water to create a smooth batter.
   • Dip each chicken nugget piece into the batter, then coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.

5. Freezing or Frying:

   • At this point, the chicken nuggets can be stored in the freezer for later use. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a resealable freezer bag.
   • When ready to cook, deep fry the nuggets in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-5 minutes.
   • Alternatively, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and cooked through.

Enjoy your delicious homemade chicken nuggets! Perfect for snacks, parties, or a delightful meal for the family.
