From what I've seen on the net, there are a lot of Shanghai chicken recipes - I've tried a few, but this is a very successful one. I really recommend you try it, it is a good variation on classic fried chicken or other meat dishes.
Wash the chicken breast well and cut into thin, long slices.
Put all the chicken pieces in a bowl, grind the garlic over it and mix well - distribute the garlic evenly through the meat.
Put flour, salt and the rest of the spices in a clean and airtight bag. I put what I had in the house, I recommend using at least 80% of the ones I put here in the recipe (the meat should be well flavored).
Close the bag, shake well to mix all the spices with the flour. Then put all the meat in the bag, close again and shake well.
Shake the bag well so that each piece of meat is covered with flour.
Pass each piece of meat through well-beaten eggs.
Then through the breadcrumbs mixed with sesame and a little salt.
Then fry them in a pan with hot oil over medium heat to cook the meat well.
Brown them well on all sides.
And take out on a plate to cool.
They are very good warm with any favorite vegetable garnish, pickled carrots or pickled mushrooms .
Good appetite!
