METHOD
Make sauce– in a small mixing bowl, mix all sauce ingredients except Kuzu, set aside.
Marinade chicken with Tamari and garlic, and lightly coat with Casalare tempura flour ( or plain flour) just before frying.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry in chicken both sides until golden and cooked, take them out and place on a paper towel to drain.
In the same frying pan, fry eggplants and carrots first, then onion, capsicum, and zucchini in that order. Cook through until eggplants and carrots are tender enough and the others are still little crunchy.
If there is too much oil left, drain it with a paper towel. Add diluted Kuzu in the sauce mixture and mix well, pour the chicken and vegetables. Heat and stir until the sauce becomes slightly thick.
