Deep-frying in plenty of oil is used throughout the "Frying" chapter of the cookbook "The Chinese Way" by Betty Liu.

La fritura en aceite abundante se usa en todo el capítulo "Frying" del libro de cocina "The Chinese Way", de Betty Liu.

Liu recommends using a thermometer and keeping the oil between 350 °F and 375 °F.

Liu recomienda usar un termómetro y mantener el aceite entre 350 °F y 375 °F.

Another way to check the temperature is to put a wooden chopstick into the oil.

Otra forma de calcular la temperatura es meter un palillo de madera en el aceite.

If tiny bubbles float around it, the heat is right.

Si flotan burbujas diminutas alrededor, el calor es adecuado.

Double frying has traditionally been used in Shanghai for shrimp and fish fillets.

La doble fritura se ha usado tradicionalmente en Shanghái para camarones y filetes de pescado.

It also works very well for chicken.

También funciona muy bien para el pollo.

A first fry at low temperature seals in the juices and creates a light layer.

Una primera fritura a baja temperatura sella los jugos y crea una capa ligera.

Then, a second fry at higher temperature cooks the chicken all the way through and increases the crunch.

Luego, una segunda fritura a mayor temperatura cocina el pollo por completo y aumenta lo crujiente.

The batter in this recipe is seasoned with cumin.

El rebozado de esta receta se sazona con comino.

It also gets its texture from crushed sesame seeds.

Además, logra su textura con semillas de sésamo trituradas.

To prepare the chicken, marinate it with scallion, garlic, ginger, salt, white pepper, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, and soy sauce.

Para preparar el pollo, se marina con cebolleta, ajo, jengibre, sal, pimienta blanca, vino de Shaoxing, aceite de sésamo y salsa de soja.

Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Se deja reposar en el refrigerador al menos 4 horas o toda la noche.

One hour before cooking, take it out of the refrigerator so it reaches room temperature.

Una hora antes de cocinar, se saca del refrigerador para que alcance la temperatura ambiente.

The coating mixes crushed sesame seeds with sugar, potato starch, and cumin.

El empanizado mezcla semillas de sésamo trituradas con azúcar, almidón de papa y comino.

The chicken is fried first at 335 °F for about 90 seconds.

El pollo se fríe primero a 335 °F durante unos 90 segundos.

After that, the oil is heated to 350 °F.

Después, el aceite se sube a 350 °F.

Then, each batch is fried again for 3 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is golden.

Entonces, cada tanda se fríe de nuevo entre 3 y 5 minutos, hasta que el pollo esté dorado.

It must also reach at least 165 °F inside.

También debe alcanzar al menos 165 °F por dentro.

It is served with cumin salt and, if you like, lemon mayonnaise.

Se sirve con sal de comino y, si se desea, con mayonesa de limón.
