I made this with Pumpkin in mind because she loves eating chicken nuggets. I saw this while watching a Japanese cooking show some times ago, but I did not have paper and pen handy to get the ingredients. So I searched online.
And I really thought that it would be easy to find a usable recipe, but I was quite wrong. I found some recipes, but I still had to do some modifications using ingredients available at hand.
Anyway, after I fried and drained these, Pumpkin was not interested in it. Until I bribed her with some mayonnaise and chili dipping sauce, that is
