Batter For Frying - Oriental Recipe
CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
  • Batter:
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder, or fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Marinade:
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp sherry
  • 1 tsp ginger, fresh, put thru garlic press
DIRECTIONS
  1. Mix eggs, salt, garlic, flour, cornstarch, and milk to make a smooth batter.
  2. Mix honey, lemon juice, sherry and ginger together and marinate shrimp (split in back), lobster (cut in cubes), chicken (cut in pieces 1" x 2"), or thin-sliced pork for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Fry dipped pieces in peanut oil until light brown.
  4. OPTION: Cool fried pieces after frying, then refrigerate, if desired, and later redip in batter, refry until golden brown. Even crunchier, and great as appetizers for a party that you can prepare ahead and still serve HOT at the last minute! It makes enough batter for 1 lb. of Shrimp, Lobster Meat, Chicken or Pork.
