Charcoal Burger with Spicy Chicken and Black Pepper mushrooms 黑炭汉堡

Last week, I had a busy week. We went a short trip to jalan-jalan dan makan-makan (actually we went to Taiping ,will update soon) and also arrange to send my last house helper go back home. After 16 years of life with a helper at home, this time I decided not to employ any more helper. Since my kids already grown up, I don't need a helper anymore. Also a good time start to train my kids to be more responsible and take part of house cleaning activities. And I am glad to see them started to wash their own serving dishes, helping in vacuum, arrange their own bed, and etc. Anyway, I will be getting busy than last time, and might not be able in blogging so often. Sorry to my blogger friend if I couldn't visit you so often.

Ok, come back to this post. The other day I saw a blogger 孤傲的王子 posted a famous burger shop in KL where their charcoal burger is very popular until long Q to get this burger. I will not travel that far and Q for a burger, so I decided to make it at home.

Again I used the Plain milk buns recipe to make this burger buns, still love the bread texture! Ya, you can keep the overnight milk sponge dough in the fridge for not more than 7 dayse..make it convenient for us to use the dough anytime when we feel like baking the bread within 7 days.

We like the spicy chicken from MCD burger, so I again copycat this chicken patty with double breading method. And it turned out almost like the original ^_^.
I did not use minced chicken but instead I cut chicken thigh into small piece like this..

Also cook the black pepper button mushroom which is my kid's favourite!

Homemade Charcoal Burger with Spicy Chicken and Black Pepper mushrooms
(recipe source: by Sonia aka Nasi Lemak Lover)

7 homemade charcoal burger buns
green lettuce
cheese slices


To make Spicy chicken patties

2 boneless chicken thigh, remove skin, cut into 5cm x 5cm thin pieces
3/4tsp fine salt
White pepper白胡椒粉

Flour mixture ingredients
150g plain flour 普通面粉
1/2tsp cumin powder 小茴香粉
1/2tsp Sweet Hungarian Paprika 红甜椒粉
1tsp Cayenne Pepper ground (Extra hot) 辣椒粉
1tsp garlic salt 蒜盐

Method

 1.Marinate chicken pieces with salt and white pepper for 30mins.
 2.Mix flour mixture ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
 3.When ready to cook, prepare a basin of clean water and a colander.
 4.Toss chicken pieces with flour and press firmly and hard on the chicken as to let more flour stick on chicken pieces.
 5.Place floured chicken pieces in the colander, put the colander in the water and immediately lift it up, remove excess water.
 6.Place wet chicken pieces back to the flour, again toss the chicken with flour and press firmly and hard on the chicken as to let more flour stick on chicken pieces.
 7.Heat enough cooking oil in a pot over medium high heat. Once oil is hot, reduce heat to medium, then put in the floured chicken pieces, deep fry for 3-5mins. Then increase heat to High, continue to deep fry for 1-2mins or until golden brown. (** in order to have crunchy crust, chicken pieces must be fully submerged and covered by hot oil. The last 1-2mins deep fry on High heat is to remove oil and to have less oily fried chicken).

  37. My son worked part time at that restaurant at one time and he brought back a burger for me to try, I think to myself, I would not queue for it too:P Thanks for sharing recipe, now I can make my own:D

    ReplyDelete
  38. These charcoal buns look so stunning!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Woah! You make your own charcoal buns. VERY impressive. But I bet it is healthier and probably less sugar than the store ones- popular or not! Plus, your son looks so photogenic!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Burger looks good, a lot healthier and definitely tastier to have a homemade one! You got a handsome young man there!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Sonia,看了肚子很饿叻,嘻嘻嘻!
    有时没有Kakak也很不错的最起码不必受气,放心吧!你一定很快可以适应的,加油哦!

  42. Sonia , I bet you've eaten loads of food in your short trip lol I've seen charcoal bread around here but haven't tried it yet :P And McDo's were selling black burger last time but sadly , I haven't tried it *sigh* Your version looks FANTASTIC ! The buns are beautifully-baked and the chicken are perfectly-cooked , drool ! Gorgeous photos as well ;D Desmond sure is getting bigger and looking really handsome !

    ReplyDelete
  43. Sonia, I saw the photo of the burger shop promotion flyer on FB, yours one look as good as theirs one!

    yes, the house without helper after 16 years is a big step for the kids to learn and be involved in the housework, anyway is a good decision! I had made mine two years ago and not regret about it! 加油!

  50. Awesome charcoal burger Sonia.

    I wanted to ask you regarding the Basic sponge cake folding egg white method. If I wanted it to be green tea flavour, how many tsp I need to add? I just need a mild flavour and colouring will do.

    Oh you come to Taiping during the holidays? Ar... miss the chance to meet you in person! Understand here, when you come with family and of course enjoying with them right?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Wow so tempting, ur children so lucky for getting to eat so many kinds of homemade healthy snacks. Btw u mean burgerlab ? I haven been there although near my place. Too lazy to queue up.

  58. I tried making those charcoal buns by following the recipe and instructions right to the dot. However, when I tried to combine the overnight dough with the fresh bread dough, the combined dough appears to be lumpy, ie the hard protein clumps from the overnight dough could not dissolve and combine well eventhough I knead it over a period of time. What could be the reason for those hard lumps?

    ReplyDelete
  59. oh wow, this looks and sounds delicious, thanks for sharing this recipe.
