Homemade Chicken Nuggets: No MSG & Extra Crunch

Chicken Nuggets without MSG

Ingredients:

• 500 g chicken (boneless)
• 1/2 packet Ladaku seasoning
• 5 tablespoons tapioca flour
• 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
• Salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon mushroom broth (Totole)
• 3 cloves shallots
• 5 cloves garlic
• 1 egg

Instructions:

1. Begin by cutting the boneless chicken into smaller pieces. In a blender, combine the chicken, egg, shallots, and garlic. Blend until the mixture is well combined but still retains some texture; avoid making it too smooth to preserve the chicken’s texture.

2. Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl. Add the tapioca flour, breadcrumbs, Ladaku seasoning, salt, and mushroom broth (Totole) to the bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

3. Prepare a baking tray by greasing it lightly with oil. This will prevent the nuggets from sticking during steaming.

4. Pour the mixture into the prepared tray, spreading it evenly. Steam the mixture for about 15-20 minutes, or until it is fully cooked and firm to the touch.

5. Once steamed, allow the nugget mixture to cool completely. After cooling, cut it into desired nugget shapes.

6. Dip each nugget piece in beaten egg, then coat with coarse breadcrumbs.

7. Your chicken nuggets are now ready for frying. Cook them in hot oil until golden brown and crispy.

8. Enjoy your homemade chicken nuggets, free from MSG and full of flavor!

Tip: For extra crunch, you can double coat the nuggets by dipping them in egg and breadcrumbs a second time before frying.
