CHEF’S SPECIAL
The Wonder Powder for
the Ultimate Crisp
Ever tasted our ever-popular, foodieraving
Ginger Fried Chicken at Hop Sing?
It is so crispy that even when left out for
a while, the skin still delivers a delectable
crunch!
Fried chicken will always be a favourite
regardless of age and time and where.
There are many ways to make the perfect
fried chicken but to ensure that your
chicken skin is super crisp and delicious it
is in the breading.
The breading or coating is the key to that
unmistakable crunch that you make when
you bite or tear into fried chicken. The
secret ingredient - instead of using only
all-purpose flour you can substitute it by
half with cornstarch.
Cornstarch is almost pure starch. There
is no gluten, unlike in all-purpose flour,
which can interfere with both the
crispness and the browning of your fried
chicken when it’s added to hot oil. When
using cornstarch, you will not only get a
super crisp coating, but you will also get
a more golden brown colour faster that is
super light. It also coats thinner than flour.
There is a reason why it is known as the
wonder powder of Chinese cooking
essential from frying to making thick and
luscious soups, and in processes of making
many of their dishes.
