Cooking Directions

  1. Mix sugar, mochiko, cornstarch, and salt together in a bowl.

  2. Whisk eggs, green onions, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and garlic together in a bowl. Whisk into the flour mixture to form a smooth batter.

  3. Stir chicken strips gently into the batter. Marinate in the refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.

  4. Fill a deep saucepan with 1 1/2 inches oil; heat over medium heat. Fry chicken strips in batches in hot oil, turning occasionally, until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips

I always marinate overnight. It is so much better.
