- • Coat the chicken with flour, egg and panko in that order
- • Cook the chicken over medium heat to achieve a crispy coating without burning
- • Seal the taiyaki properly so the azuki paste does not overflow
Safety Warnings
- • Be careful of hot oil splatters when frying the chicken.
- • Do not let the broth boil once the miso is added, otherwise the beneficial enzymes are destroyed.
