Ingredients
- 500 g crocodile meat (see Note)
- ⅓ cup potato starch
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) light soy sauce
- ¼ cup (60 ml) yuzu honey (see Note)
- 1 chilli, sliced, to garnish
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, to garnish
- Oil, for deep frying
Instructions
- Cut the crocodile meat into 2-3cm pieces and add to a large mixing bowl. Add the potato starch and toss gently to coat.
- Add the oil to a deep frying pan or pot and heat on medium-high until it reaches 180°C. Shake off excess starch from the crocodile pieces and deep fry for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain well.
- In a large frying pan over medium heat, add the soy sauce and yuzu honey and heat, stirring, until bubbling. Add the drained crocodile pieces and toss well to coat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sliced chilli and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
Note:
• You can buy crocodile meat from select butchers or find frozen online.
• Yuzu honey is a jammy syrup that's also called citron tea. You can find it at some major supermarkets or at select grocers.
