My daughter loves this snack. It is an adaptation from one of Nigella Lawson's recipes. My husband's neice, Vikka, was the one who named it as such. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. It is a very healthy and fun snack.
Ingredients:
2 cups of grated carrots or squash
1 1/2 cup of Japanese breadcrumbs
1 cup grated cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup hot water
1 tbsp.
Magic Sarap seasoning (optional)
1/4 tsp. white pepper
In 3 separate bowls, prepare the following:
Eggwash (2 eggs beaten with 1/2 cup water)
Cornstarch or all-purpose flour
Japanese breadcrumbs
To Cook:
In a large bowl, combine all the first 7 ingredients. Mix well then form into 1-inch balls.
Dip the nuggets on the three prepared bowls in this order:
1. Roll it first in the cornstarch
2. Then in the eggwash
3. Finally, on the breadcrumbs
Deep-fry the nuggets using canola oil until golden brown. Drain the nuggets in paper towels and serve warm as is or may be dipped in sour cream or chili sauce. Enjoy!:)
