  • Crispy Fried Fish

    Crispy Fried Fish

    Crispy Fried Fish

    Do you love this crispy batter-dipped fish? Crispy on the outside, with the fish cooked perfectly on the inside, it is hard to resist this fish.

    Growing up, this was a favorite restaurant of mine. I remember when the Long John Silver’s first opened in Pueblo, Colorado. My family got in the car, and we soon munched on this fish.

    This batter is very close to the Fish and Chips served overseas. This recipe is unique because the fish is crispy, but it isn’t done with a beer batter. Club soda is the key ingredient that makes this crispy fish batter special.

    The batter has baking soda and baking powder in it, and when combined with the club soda, it gives the batter a unique lift you will love.

    What Makes This Recipe The Best Copycat Long John’s Fish Batter Recipe ?

    Fish sticks are a staple fast food favorite on both sides of the Atlantic. While England may have a stronger tradition of fish and chip shops, a few popular chains exist in the US, including Long John Silver’s.

    For over 50 years, the brand’s restaurants have been churning out deliciously crispy fried fish. While you won’t find Long John Silver’s everywhere, once you taste the crispy batter of their fried fish, you’ll want to enjoy it often. With this tried and true copycat recipe, you can make it anytime!

    Why This Is One Copycat Long John Silvers Fish Batter Recipe You Must Try ?

    This version doesn’t attempt to recreate the classic heavier flavor of Britain’s fried fish. Instead, the battered fish recipe below goes with a more pronounced mixture of seasonings and club soda that recreates the taste of the Long John Silvers fish batter recipe.

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups club soda
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ½ tsp baking soda
    • ½ tsp baking powder
    • 1 ½ to 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
    • 4 tbsp cornstarch

    Instructions

    Instructions

    FIRST STEP:

    Heat the oil in a skillet
    Begin by combining the dry ingredients, salt, baking powder, flour, cornstarch and baking soda

    SECOND STEP:

    Gently stir in the club soda. You do not want to over stir because the bubbles will pop and dissipate.

    THIRD STEP:

    Fry the fish as soon as you have coated it with batter.

  • Air Fryer Egg Rolls

    Air Fryer Egg Rolls

    Equipment

    Table of Contents

    • 1 Air Fryer
    • Ingredients

      • ½ pound ground pork
      • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
      • ¼ cup chopped green onions
      • ½ cup chopped onions yellow or white
      • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
      • 1 teaspoon garlic minced, about 2 garlic cloves
      • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
      • 2 cups shredded cabbage purple or green
      • cup shredded carrots
      • 8 egg roll wrappers
      • Instructions

          1. To make the egg roll filling, use a large skillet, on medium-high heat, and brown the ground pork. Stir together until the pork is cooked, about 3-5 minutes.
          2. Keep the skillet on medium heat, combine sesame oil, onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, cabbage, and carrots. Continue stirring until the vegetables begin to soften, and all of the ingredients are well combined, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let mixture slightly cool before trying to wrap them.
        • On a flat surface, lay out wrappers with corners left and right. Fill the center of the wonton with a large spoonful or two of the cabbage the filling.
        • Fold bottom corn over the filling and tuck under. Next, fold in the left and right corners, and then turn over, (rolling like a burrito) to make a large pillow shape. Dip you one or two fingers in water, or use a pastry brush, and then trace the wrapper with water, just on the outer edges, so when you fold them, they will seal.
          • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray, and place each rolls in air fryer, in a single layer, without stacking or overlapping.
          • Air fry at 400 degrees F for 5-8 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway during the air frying process.

          Notes

          You can make the filling ahead of time, and keep in the refrigerator until ready to make the egg rolls. This saves a little bit of time, and lets the meat and veggies marinate together.
          Brush or spray the egg rolls with a little bit of olive oil. This will help them turn golden brown and crispy. 

          This recipe makes should make 6-8 egg rolls, depending on how much filling you put on the egg roll. If making a double batch of egg rolls, leave enough space in the air fryer basket so the air can flow around them and they can cook evenly.

          To save time, use a coleslaw mix from the produce section at your local grocery store. It will have shredded cabbage and carrots ready to go.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

                Could I leave out the pesto?

    For me, the pesto is one of the best flavors that could be on this dish. I would say leave part of it without the pesto, and part with the pesto. That way there are both ways and you could choose.

                How do I store this meal or appetizer?

    This can be placed in ziplock bags and sealed tightly or kept in another airtight container. It will sit well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

                Can I freeze this recipe?

    I would say that you could definitely freeze this dish. As long as it is wrapped tightly or placed in an airtight and freezer safe container, it will last in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    To Make Chicken Pasta Dairy-Free

    For those who want to avoid dairy or make this pasta dish a bit healthier, skip the cream and use chicken broth instead. Simply let the broth cook down a bit more to achieve a creamy consistency.

    What Kind of Pasta to Use

    • Spaghetti: I prefer using spaghetti for my chicken pasta, but any variety will work just as well.
    • Linguine: This is a popular option for making Italian chicken pasta.
    • Whole Wheat Pasta: Substitute whole grain or whole wheat pasta for added nutritional value.

    lautaromartinez5822 httpss.mj .run81jSqyhHzZc Creamy Italian C 6578e765 1aac 4c9d 9567 789879a69075 2

    What Kind of Chicken to Use

    • Thin Chicken Breasts: This recipe calls for four boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are thin.
    • Butterfly Thick Chicken Breasts: If you can’t find thin chicken breasts, butterfly thick ones. Tenderizing works too, although I didn’t tenderize mine; I just bought thin ones from the store.

    If you buy regular chicken breasts (not labeled as thin), make sure to halve them horizontally. For example, 1 pound of large chicken breasts usually yields two pieces, and when halved, you’ll get four nice thin chicken fillets.

    Instructions

      1. Prepare the Chicken:
          • Clean and Season: Start by massaging the chicken thighs with salt to help remove any unwanted smell. Rinse them thoroughly under running water.
          • Dry: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure even cooking.

          • Sauté Ginger: Add the sliced ginger and sauté for about 10 seconds until fragrant.

         

        • Add Garlic: Stir in the chopped garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden.
