These were good. I liked that they had a lot of flavor. I think I will try panko next time. Mine didn't turn out as pretty as the picture, even though I followed the directions. Will try again, really good with egg fried rice! -
Excellent! This is similar to the Japanese karaage without the eggs or flour making it more flavorful. Ginger/soy/rice vinegar-perfect combo. The breadcrumbs also made it so crispy. Love it! Thanks for sharing. Will be making this again and again and again! Made for Aus Recipe Swap #26.

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
