Ingredients

Soy Celeriac Remoulade

  • 250 g peeled celeriac root
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 heaped tbsp of good mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tbsp of smooth Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 small green chilli minced
  • 2 tbsp of chopped parsley chopped fine
  • 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 large spring onion sliced thinly

Karaage Chicken Schnitzel

  • 2 large chicken breast fillets
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 3 heaped Tbsp rice flour
  • 3 heaped Tbsp cornstarch
  • Oil for frying
  • 2 eggs for frying
  • Black sesame seeds for frying optional

Instructions

  • Grate celeriac root on the large side of a box grater. Transfer to a bowl, squeeze over lemon juice and mix well.
  • Combine mayonnaise, dijon, green chilli, soy sauce, parsley and spring onion. Stir through grated celeriac. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Using a meat mallet, carefully flatten chicken fillets down to approx 1cm thickness. Season with salt.
  • In a large bowl, combine egg, ginger, garlic and soy sauce. Place chicken fillets into the egg mix and coat well.
  • Combine rice flour and cornstarch then add to the chicken-egg mixture. Working quickly massage flour into the chicken to create a batter.
  • Heat 1/2 high oil in a frying pan to approx 170˚C (to test this add some salt flakes or breadcrumbs to the oil and when it breaks the surface and bubbles the oil is ready).
  • Add chicken schnitzels to the oil and fry for a few minutes on each side until the outside is browned and crispy and centre cooked through.
  • Set schnitzels aside to rest. Pour away half the oil from the frying pan and crack in eggs. Fry until crispy around the edges. Season with salt.
  • Divide celeriac remoulade between plates, layer over karaage schnitzels and top with a fried egg. Garnish with black sesame seeds if you have them.
