Chicken Flavoured With Fermented Tofu / 腐乳鸡块
Fermented tofu, called "doufu ru" (豆腐乳) in Chinese, is a type of soya products. This looks innocent enough, like cubes of tofu immersed in a broth, but it has a very pungent aroma and strong, cheesy flavor. It comes in two colors. The white version is often served with rice or used to flavor soups and vegetable dishes, while the red often accompanies meats. Look for it in jars or crocks in Asian markets. Store it in the refrigerator after you've opened it, keeping the cubes immersed in liquid or oil to prevent them from drying out and discoloring. foodsubs

Ingredients
- 250 gram Chicken breast
- 15 gram Cornstarch
- 45 gram All-purpose flour
- Frying oil
- 1 tablespoon Egg, beaten
- 1 pc Fermented tofu (sesame oil flavoured)
- 1 teaspoon Light soya sauce
- 1/3 teaspoon Sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon Jiafan rice wine
- 1/4 teaspoon White pepper powder
Instructions
Step 1
Blend cornstarch and all-purpose flour together in a bowl to create a coating mixture. In a separate bowl, stir all marinade ingredients together. Rinse and pat the chicken breast dry. Cut the chicken into inch-sized pieces and add to the prepared marinade. Stir well to coat and let marinate until the chicken pieces have fully absorbed the sauce.
Step 2
Heat oil in a pan until hot. Coat the marinated chicken pieces with the flour mixture. Deep fry until golden brown and crispy. Drain the fried chicken and serve immediately with a side dish of the juice from the fermented tofu.
