1. Mozzarella Bites

What You're Gonna Need: 

Mozzarella Cheese 100g (well, obviously!)
Freshly made bread crumbs
1 egg
Cornstarch
Chilli flakes
Dried oregano
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste.

Oil for frying.

Dipping sauce:
Red Chili Sauce
Minced Garlic
Olive Oil
Paprika
Tomato Ketchup


What You're gonna Do:

Wash your hands and get your work station ready.

Cut the mozzarella cheese into bite sized pieces (or sticks, you choose) and set aside.

Add freshly ground black pepper, a tiny pinch of salt, chilli flakes and oregano to your bread crumbs and mix well. Set aside.

Beat the egg, and add a teaspoon of milk. Set aside.

Dust the mozzarella bites lightly with cornstarch. Dust off any excess.

Dip it in the beaten egg. Let the excess drip off.

Coat in breadcrumbs. (Repeat the egg-bread crumb process twice for a crispier coating).

Now, once all your bites are coated, chill in the refrigerator for 15/20 mins.

Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan. To check for the correct oil temp, drop a crumb in the oil, if it sizzles, then your oil is ready to fry!

Gently drop the bites into the oil. ( Be careful not to splatter yourself)

Fry them until they turn golden brown.

Take them out on absorbent paper.

Dipping Sauce:
 Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan. Add the minced garlic. Once fragrant, add the two sauces to your taste. I added more of the chili, coz' we like it hot. Toss to quote the garlic. Add the paprika and check for seasoning. Garnish with chopped spring onions and ta da!
