Tempura chicken in sweet chilli sauce
A simple recipe for the weekend.
Ingredients:
For the tempura chicken -
3 chicken breasts, cut into small pieces RM6
1 cup flour RM0.50
1/2 cup ice-cold water
1 egg RM0.40
For the sweet chilli sauce -
Thai chilli sauce RM2 (‘unbranded’ one, that is not too thick, with visible chilli seeds)
Coriander leaves RM0.50
Mango (not-so-ripe ones) RM1
Instructions:
1. Mix flour, water , and egg to make tempura batter.
2. Dip and coat the chicken in the batter.
3. Fry in small heat, until golden brown.
4. In the meantime, shred the mango into thin slices and cut the coriander leaves into smaller pieces.
5. Mix the Thai chilli sauce with the shredded mango and coriander leaves.
6. Pour the sauce onto the tempura chicken pieces right before serving (to retain crunchiness).
7. Serve with white rice.
Sorry, this photo is not so clear.
Note: The chicken can be replaced with fish fillet or oyster mushroom. Tempura is just a fancier name of 'celup tepung'. I love coriander leaves! (err not too relevant)
Estimated cost: Total RM10.40, Serves 4
Cost per portion: RM2.60 (excluding white rice)
Estimated time: 30 minutes preparation & cooking

Yes, when do you add the prawns and the veggies?
ummuahmads & H,
hehe ;p i was kinda hoping the prawns and vege would go unnoticed (yeah right) but mmg obvious pun hehe.. the prawn and vege were from another dish, my 'creative' brother pergi 'pinjam' letak kat sini pulak for the 'photo shoot'.. spoil je ;p
Gosh! U write well & u cook well too! Me, lousy cook.
Sekali lagi cakap...u should write a book
mynie, thanks for sharing. cam best je rasanya. nanti nak cuba lah..
betul kata suraiya, maybe you should write a book.. on cooking!
suraiya,
oh, i really don't cook that well. i don't cook that often either. weekdays tak sempat, cuma weekends sometimes. but i do like to 'experiment' in the kitchen. kalau jadi, bolehlah share dalam blog. tapi kalau tak jadi, takdelah ceritanya di sini hehehe..
ipohmom,
do try - it's such a simple recipe! kalau malas nak racik mangga (like me), boleh je omit hehe ;p
