Wor Su Gai Chinese Chicken With Fresh Milled Flour

This Wor Su Gai Chinese Chicken With Fresh Milled Flour recipe is inspired by one of my favorite Chinese American dishes ever. This is a special asian dish that apparently is only popular in parts of Ohio and Michigan, and maybe a few other places here and there. Most of the places I remember ordering this are now out of business, and I had to figure out how to recreate this childhood favorite of mine.

What Is Wor Su Gai?

Wor Su Gai is basically an asian crispy fried chicken breast with a yellow chicken gravy. Traditionally it is served over a bed of white rice, fresh iceberg lettuce, and topped with slivered almonds and green onion. Some places would serve this with a brown gravy, which was more popular, however my family and I would seek out to find places that offered the yellow gravy option, as we much preferred it that way.

If you are looking for an easy Jasmine Rice recipe to serve with this, then I have one for you HERE. This one is super easy because you just put the ingredients into your pressure cooker, and the perfect rice is ready when your meal is ready.

Instructions To Make Fresh Milled Flour Wor Su Gai Chinese Chicken With Yellow Gravy

Prepare The Chicken

1. Firstly, mill the flour. I like to use soft white wheat for this.
2. Prepare your rice. I have an easy Pressure Cooker Rice Recipe HERE.
3. Filet the chicken breasts in half, place in a bowl.
4. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and the dry sherry, then mix. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for 15 minutes.
5. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the batter.
6. In a large bowl, beat together the cornstarch, fresh milled flour, baking powder, egg, and water until smooth. Set aside until the chicken is done marinating.

Make The Yellow Gravy Sauce & Garnish

1. Then, prepare your lettuce, green onions, and slivered almonds and set them to the side for garnishing your chicken & gravy.
2. Prepare the yellow gravy sauce. So, to a medium sauce pan, add cornstarch and water, whisk until smooth. Slowly add the chicken broth while whisking, then turn the heat on to medium high. Also add the butter, soy sauce, and chicken base. Keep stirring, and bring to a boil. Let the sauce boil for 1 minute, then lower the heat and keep warm until time to serve.

Cook The Chicken & Then Serve

1. Heat your frying oil to 375*F. The pan should be filled about 3/4 inch deep with your cooking oil of choice.
2. Once the chicken is done marinating and the oil is also to temperature, then coat each chicken piece with the batter.
3. Deep fry the chicken until golden brown. So, this should take about 5-7 minutes. Temp the center of the chicken to make sure it has cooked through. You want the center to be 160*F-165*F.
4. Once the chicken is cooked through, let drain on a paper towel.
5. To serve, put about a cup of cooked white rice on a plate. Then, cut the chicken diagonally into strips and place them on a bed of shredded ice berg lettuce, on the rice. Sprinkle the top with slivered almonds and green onions. Then spoon the yellow gravy sauce over the top.
6. Lastly, enjoy!
