Sesame Chicken Bites
Ingredients:
1/2 pound medium size mushrooms
4 slices white bread, crusts removed
1/2 pound chicken breast, ground or minced very fine
1 slice onion, minced fine
1 egg white
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sesame oil
dash of ground white pepper
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 cup corn oil, for frying
Preparation:
1. Prepare the mushrooms and the bread by removing the stems from the mushrooms, and the crust from the bread. Minced the mushrooms and mix them with the chicken; discard the stems if you wish or mince them, too. Cut each bread slice in quarters.
2. Mix chicken breast, onion, egg white, salt, sesame oil, white pepper and half the cornstarch. Dust the rest of the cornstarch on the inside of each mushroom and one side of each slice of bread.
3. Stuff about a teaspoon of the chicken mixture into each mushroom cap and on to each piece of bread. Then dip each item into the sesame seeds to coat the top.
4. Heat oil and deep fry the bread squares first, until golden. Remove and put on paper towels to drain. Then fry the mushrooms until their tops are golden, drain and after they sat on the paper towel for a minute or two, serve.
