Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breast
- 200 g mashed potatoes
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 50 g broccoli
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp potato starch
- 5 g salt
- to taste Sichuan peppercorn powder
- to taste black pepper powder
- to taste ginger or garlic
- optional black sesame seeds
- optional zero-sugar ketchup
Instructions
- 1Prepare the chicken and vegetables
Place pieces of chicken breast into a glass blender bowl along with chunks of onion, carrots, broccoli, ginger, and seasonings including Sichuan peppercorn powder, black pepper powder, and salt.
Tip: Ensure the salt does not exceed 5g for a healthier profile. - 2Add binder and starch
Add potato starch and one egg white into the blender bowl with the chopped ingredients before blending again.
Tip: The egg white and starch help bind the ingredients together for patty formation. - 3Mix in mashed potatoes
Pour the prepared mashed potatoes into the blended mixture and stir thoroughly until evenly combined.
Tip: Mix well to ensure a uniform texture throughout the dough. - 4Shape the patties
Put oil on your gloves to prevent sticking, then take portions of the mixture and shape them into neat rectangles or your preferred shape.
Tip: Wearing oiled gloves makes handling the sticky mixture much easier. - 5Press patterns with a fork
Take a fork and gently press horizontal lines or a decorative pattern onto the top surface of each shaped potato patty.
Tip: This adds a nice texture and traditional appearance to the patties before baking. - 6Brush egg yolk and garnish
Brush the remaining egg yolk lightly over the top of each shaped patty to give them a golden color when baked, then sprinkle black sesame seeds as garnish.
Tip: Spray some oil on the parchment paper for non-stick baking, then bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes, flipping midway. - 7Arrange patties in the air fryer
Place the shaped potato and chicken patties into the air fryer basket after applying a light spray of oil to prevent sticking, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer for even cooking.
Tip: Do not overcrowd the basket; leave a little space between the patties so the hot air can circulate freely.
