Recipe Instructions

A nugget is a bite-size morsel from the list of optional nugget ingredients. You can use one ingredient alone or in combination with other ingredients. One pound of nuggets will yield 4 to 6 servings.

Preheat canola or equivalent cooking oil in a deep fryer. Add a few drops of sesame oil if you wish for flavor. Use a good thermometer and bring the oil to 370F.

For beer battering nuggets: Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Beat in egg and beer. Dip nuggets in batter, coating them well. Fry the nuggets in cooking oil until browned. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

To make Sweet-and-Sour Pineapple Sauce: Mix the cornstarch, sugar and salt with the vinegar. Add pineapple juice. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Arrange the batter fried nuggets and pineapple chunks on a serving platter and pour sauce over all.
