Spicy Fried Eggplant Recipe [Auberginen in pikanter Sauce Rezept]

This recipe is rather oily, so you should serve it with a plain side dish like rice to take in the extra oil. You can also consider steamed or cooked side dishes.
Fry the meat together with the garlic to give it an extra aroma, then add the fried eggplant.
You can use pork or beef and chilisauce instead of doubanjiang, but the taste will be not the same.

Potato Wedges and Sour Creme Recipe [Kartoffelecken mit saurer Sahne Rezept]

I'm just going to explain how to make the wedges, since sour creme is a bought dip and you can use whatever dip you like. We had chilisauce. But ketchup or barbecue sauce is fine, too. Whatever you have.

This is so easy!! All you need is potates and enough oil. It's something you can make quickly, when you don't know what to cook.


Potato Wedges for 4 (450kcal per serving)

800g potatoes
Frying oil for deep frying

1. Cut the potates into wedges. When they're a little older and the skin is looking wrinkly, you might wanna peel them first. Lay them in a bowl with water and let sit for 5 minutes.

2. Now drain carefully and make sure to pat them dry.
3. In a pan, heat enough oil over high heat (not too high, the oil musn't smoke!).
4. Place the potatoe wedges piece by piece. If you add too much at once, the oil temperature will drop.
5. Fry until golden brown and then put on a plate (covered with a kitchen towel).

Enjoy your meal.

Fried Chicken Recipe [Frittiertes Huhn Rezept]

First of all, I'd like to say, I'm sorry, because I can't show you all recipes. That doesn' mean, I didn't make them, I just can't show you.

I made Lasagna and I can't show you, because I made them at my grannies home and forgot my camera. When I'm free, I'll post the recipe anyway, but without pics.

I also made (or tried to make) Gnocci di Zucca, which didn't turn out very well. I can't show you, because I screwed up the recipe and therefore can't explain you how to make them. I don't know, want went wrong. When I have time, I'll try to make them again.

Now I'm going to show you how to make fried chicken. This is a side dish, you have to serve it with something else. If you want to have it as main dish (without anything else), you have to double the ingredients.


Fried Chicken Recipe for 4 (400kcal per serving)

300g chicken breast
          For the seasoning:
1tsp paprika
1tsp garlic powder
1/2tsp cayenne pepper
1/2tsp salt
1/4tsp pepper
          For the dough:
160g wheat flour
1 beaten egg
100ml milk
Oil for deep frying


1. Cut the meat into bite size pieces.
2. In a big bowl (big enough to hold the meat as well) mix the spices well. Put in the meat and stir until coated.
3. In another bowl, mix flour, egg and milk and whisk.

4. In a big pan, heat the frying oil to high heat (not too high, the oil musn't smoke!)
5. Now we have to fry the chicken. Coat it well with dough (be careful, it's really sticky) and then place in the hot oil, piece by piece. Don't put it all in at once, because the oil temperature will drop.
6. Fry until golden brown. If you're pan isn't high enough, you may have to turn the meat once or twice.

7. You can serve with parsley and lemon slices.

Enjoy your meal!
