  2. frencheliea says:

    nice recipe but the oil must change… too dark I think..

    • Silverjerk says:

      Commercial fryers will discolor, and since oil is translucent it can appear
      darker as a result, but this is not spent oil. It’s middle of the road for
      sure, but very acceptable as it hasn’t started changing the flavor or
      finish of the crust at this stage.

    • frencheliea says:

      +Silverjerk not spent oil? I think you just have only experience to be
      treated as customer or guest….I don’t have any negative opinion against
      his recipe. Only oil used several times, it is toxic for people have this
      kind of food. Oil used several times can become darker and darker. and it
      is signal for changing its oil

    • Silverjerk says:

      +frencheliea I was a professional chef for 10 years. I know how commercial
      fryers can be discolored, which can affect the perceived color of the oil.
      Thanks, but nice try.

    keep ’em coming! :D

  6. Eithne McIntosh says:

    ah, sensei, it’s really hard to find sake in my place. Are there any
    ingredients that I can use to replace that?

    • kemotox says:

      +Eithne McIntosh You should search for some speciality shops. I live in
      Hungary and these stuffs like sake and mirin are hard to find too here, but
      there are some shops i can order online from. Maybe your country have
      similar shops too.

  7. Huadong Feng says:

    CUT IT AND EAT IT!!!!!!!

  8. Vasili Leung says:

    that second thigh should be cut into 4 pieces.

    • Jake Tran says:

      +Vasili Leung why? he said theres no correct way to cut the thighs. Up to
      you, who cares how many pieces it should be cut.

  9. Porseni 86 says:

    chef you have or work for any restaurant based in London? A visit must be
    worth it…. :D

  10. Brew IPA says:

    What type of fry oil do you mostly use and how many times can we use it?

  11. Glaciusdota says:

    I didn’t quite catch how long I should let it in the fridge, did you say 1
    or 2 hours?

  12. Dan D says:

    Thank you Chef Dai, I enjoy your videos because it looks very easy to make.

  17. Donna Copas says:

    What kind of oil do you use? I use peanut and vegetable oil. The oil is
    important for the flavor. I am really enjoy your cooking.

    • Cooking with Chef Dai says:

      +Donna Copas hi again Donna! Thank you for your kind words. For tempura I
      use veggie oil plus sesame oil. For cooking, veg oil or light olive oil.
      Peanut oil is also excellent!
