This is actually Beau’s Mom’s recipe. It has been a secret family recipe of theirs for years and years and they finally allowed us to post it on FavFamilyRecipes. Beau made this for us while we were all in Cedar for New Years and it was devoured within minutes. They kind of resemble chicken nuggets, but they are SO much better. This is truly a favorite family recipe! Thank you Walker family for sharing!!!
Batter:
1 package Tofu
1/3 c. soy sauce
1/3 c. sugar
5 to 6 Garlic Cloves
5-8 Chicken breasts
2 eggs
Wondra Flour
Oil (for frying)
Dipping Sauce:
¼ c. honey
1/2 c. mayonnaise
2-3 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
Blend batter ingredients thoroughly in blender til you have a smooth mixture. Cut up chicken breasts into chicken nugget size pieces and marinate in the above mixture in the fridge overnight. Before cooking stir 2 eggs into the mixture and coat each piece of chicken in “Wondra” flour. Deep fry at about 350 degrees until pieces are brown and thoroughly cooked.
For the dipping sauce, mix mayonnaise, honey and mustard. Chill and serve.
Hmm, sounds great. But what is wondra flour?
It is in a tall blue container by the regular flour. It is like regular flour but a much finer consistency.
I had mafa chicken growing up it was a fav ~ it was served at a chinese restaurant and everything there was the best, when I was 20~ a friend of mine was a chef there and gave me the recipe … somehow i lost it,:( I tried to make it many times but there was always something missing … Reading this, I think it's the sugar. i remember the recipe being ridiculously easy and fantastically delicious. I have looked hi and lo for the recipe since! I'll let you know as soon as I make it.Crossing my fingers!!! Thanks ~~Presley
Thank you Beau’s mom! I friend of mine from Idaho gavee me this recipe about twenty years ago and after my last move I lost it. I could never quite remember past the tofu or the soy sauce! I have been craving true Mafa chicken since forever! This recipe is the exact one she gave me and just as delicious as I remember. I like it hot but it is is also so delicious cold the next day! If there is any left, I mean. Thank you!
