Method
First of all marinate chicken and beef with Garlic, Salt, Black Pepper powder. Let it marinate for at least ½ hour to make the ingredient to get in the meat. In the mean time, prepare the salsa ingredient. Prepare a pot of boiling water, add in salt and then blanch asparagus. After that mix the entire salsa ingredient together and placed aside. Next, blend the marinate meat ingredient and then make the meat into small ball. Flatten the meat with your hand and take the salsa and placed the salsa on the meat. Cover the salsa by pressing meat with your finger and then steam the meat for a few minutes (note: don’t make the meat to thick and don’t steam so long or else it will turn out hard). Once steam placed the meat in the egg batter and then sprinkle bread crumbs on the nugget. Make sure to bath in the batter for two times, so that the outside texture will turn out crispy. Lastly, deep fry the nugget until it turn golden brown.

Our first trial

As usuall we, prepared all the item and then do some misen-plus. Later that blend and season the meat. Next after that we prepare salsa and following the steps. By blanching asparagus and then chopped them to small cube follow by the onion. Pineapple is also chopped to small pieces And then mixes with lime juice. After making salsa, place the salsa aside and then start shapping the meat into small ball. Then place filling in the meat and then close back again. After that steam the meat until half cook. Finally deep meat into the egg batter and then to the bread crumbs before frying it.

After that, we learn that the meat texture taste isn't salty enough. But so far the texture is alright.

So we came out a solution to marinate the meat before cooking them.



We also try freezing the nugget, trying to find out what will happen to the nugget.


Other comment:

We had learn that the filling is satisfying this time and it was better than last week. We learn that the meat should be thinner so that the texture won't be so hard. Pineapple filling was our subtitue ingredient because we had forget to order some manggo. Well at least we know that this time the nugget will pass.
