Salt to taste
8 1/2 cups water

Where to find ingredients
All ingredients can be found at local supermarkets or grocery stores. For the shredded chicken, fresh poultry is the ideal choice. Breadcrumbs can be replaced by panko for an even crunchier texture, though fine breadcrumbs are the traditional standard.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add the margarine and the all-purpose flour, stirring vigorously and continuously until the mixture pulls away from the bottom of the pot, forming a homogeneous dough.
- Transfer the dough to a stand mixer, add the two eggs and the salt, and mix until well incorporated.
- Remove the dough from the mixer and finish by kneading it lightly with your hands on a smooth surface.
- Divide the dough while still warm into 40 equal portions.
- Flatten each portion in the palm of your hand, place the seasoned shredded chicken in the center, and close it, shaping it into the traditional teardrop form.
- Dip each unit into the beaten eggs and then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumbs.
- Deep-fry in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
