Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Flatten chicken breast, marinate simply with soy sauce, wine, and garlic (omit five-spice to avoid clashing with wasabi).
- Coat with sweet potato flour and deep-fry crispy golden.
- Make the finishing 'Jie Mo Powder' (Wasabi salt). Blend powdered wasabi (a slightly sweetened green spice powder often used in Taiwan night markets), premium salt, a little white pepper, and sugar.
- Liberally dust both sides of the hot, drained chicken until slightly green. The heat volatilizes the wasabi compounds.
