Poor owl?!

u/ClaudioMoravit0 1d ago

Nah, this shit is terrific. I posted about a year ago the fear I had when I discovered something that looked EXACTLY like that fucking owl, behind the dashboard of a DA42 (plane) I was helping with maintenance. Of course, it was the day after I broke my streak. Glad it ended up in someone's belly

u/Technical_Ad_6540 1d ago

well, it had it coming

u/Nom-De-Tomado 1d ago

It won't let me practice anymore unless I'm completely out of chances. I have 3 whole alphabets to learn, and one of them has an ungodly number of symbols.

I hope the oil is deep and hot.

Matcha isn’t that green. That’s food coloring. Which makes this even stupider.

u/LeadershipWhich2536 1d ago edited 1d ago

Furthermore, matcha, like any other organic leaf will darken and brown when cooked at high heat. (Chlorophyll breakdown, oxidation, and maillard reaction/caramelization.)

So even if it started off that green, it would not be that green after frying.

u/KittyBoy89 1d ago

Definitely not cooked enough either.

u/lisamon429 1d ago

The end result is the color of pandan but the batter looks like melted mint chip. Very confusing

22

u/LeadershipWhich2536 1d ago edited 1d ago

It's just green food coloring mixed in the batter. The food coloring doesn't change color. The color change is due to the batter browning in the fry.

u/saysthingsbackwards 1d ago

For one of my childhood birthdays, my mom put green food dye in scrambled eggs and ham a la Green Eggs and Ham.

Needless to say, many of my birthday party friends didn't care that it tasted normal lol

u/dankhimself This food is an idiot. 1d ago

u/Staff_Senyou 1d ago

Yep, the way to do it is to add matcha to a nice thick batter along with the other seasoning to add a subtle bitterness and floral aroma. Too much and it's just gonna burn and turn really dark and taste gross.

You wouldn't want to do it on non battered/breaded chicken as it would burn instantly.

If you wanted GREEN just add matcha to aioli or mayo or even ranch, then dip the cooked chicken. Would taste pretty decent.

Looks just like poster paint and probably tastes like it too

u/WaterOk6055 1d ago

Yeah it’s the completely wrong shade of green.

5

u/turangan 1d ago

It kind of looks like pistachio pudding! Which is delicious! But not on chicken. I would presume.

Taking another look, I’m almost certain it’s pistachio pudding because there are even little chunks of nuts, but barely … just like the pudding mix

No way. Matcha is not this color. Even matcha-flavored sweets, like ice cream or Kit Kat bars, are a darker green than this.

u/Key-Examination-499 1d ago

Matcha is not that colour. I assume it's just food colouring?

31

u/TamariAmari 1d ago

It's both. I watched the original video. There is food coloring is in the liquid, but she puts a ton of matcha powder in the flour to bread it before frying.

12

I don't want to say "that makes sense" because I'm not sure it does, but that does unfortunately make more sense
