Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the chicken tenderloin. Remove any sinew and make shallow cuts with a knife. This helps the marinade penetrate better and ensures even cooking.
Step 2
Place the chicken tenderloin in a bowl. Add 30g each of the rich soy milk and the rich black bean soy milk. Ensure the chicken is well-coated and let it marinate for 10 minutes. The soy milk will tenderize the chicken beautifully.
Step 3
Lightly drain the marinated chicken tenderloin. Season it with a pinch of salt and pepper, or use herbed salt if you prefer. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the seasoning to absorb.
Step 4
Now, prepare the ingredients for the coating. Gather all ingredients except those for the soy mayo sauce.
Step 5
Get two wide plates ready. On one plate, mix the breadcrumbs with the dried parsley flakes. On the other plate, lightly beat the egg with a fork.
Step 6
Add the bingsu bean powder and frying powder to the seasoned chicken tenderloin. Toss to coat evenly. Gently press the chicken to help the powder adhere well.
Step 7
Dip the chicken tenderloin, coated in the bean and frying powder, into the beaten egg. Ensure it’s fully coated on all sides with the egg wash.
Step 8
Transfer the egg-coated chicken tenderloin to the plate with the parsley breadcrumbs. Generously coat both sides with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure good adhesion. This creates the crispy crust.
Step 9
Your chicken tenders, now infused with soy milk and coated, are ready! It’s time to cook them to perfection.
Step 10
We’ll be using an air fryer. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and arrange the coated chicken tenders in a single layer. Lightly brush the tenders on both sides with olive oil or cooking oil for extra crispiness.
Step 11
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Place the chicken tenders inside and cook for 8 minutes. Then, flip them over and cook for an additional 5 minutes. This total cooking time of 13 minutes will yield wonderfully crispy outside and moist inside chicken tenders. (Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer’s performance.)
Step 12
Now, let’s make the delicious soy mayo sauce that pairs perfectly with the chicken tenders. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon each of the rich black bean soy milk and the rich soy milk.
Step 13
Add a pinch of black pepper and stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 14
Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for added flavor and a smoother consistency.
Step 15
Finally, add 1 teaspoon of bingsu bean powder and whisk until smooth. The bean powder adds a nutty flavor and a lovely subtle color to the sauce.
Step 16
For a touch of sweetness, stir in 1 teaspoon of oligosaccharide. Mix well. Your delightful soy mayo sauce is now ready!
Step 17
Transfer the soy mayo sauce to a small serving bowl. Sprinkle a little extra bean powder on top for garnish and an enhanced nutty aroma.
Step 18
Finally, arrange the warm, freshly air-fried soy milk chicken tenders on a plate alongside the prepared soy mayo sauce. This completes your nutritious and flavorful meal! Enjoy your delicious creation!
