Giant Spicy Chicken Noodle Cheese Ball

Experience the ultimate cheese pull with this colossal, crispy fried dough ball stuffed with fiery spicy chicken noodles, gooey mozzarella, and savory crab sticks.

Ingredients

• 100 g glutinous rice flour
• 50 g high gluten flour
• 15 g butter
• 40 ml hot water
• 1 block mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese
• 1/4 pack spicy chicken instant noodles
• 3 pieces crab sticks
• as needed cooking oil
• for coating spicy cheese powder

Instructions

1. 1Weigh dry ingredients

   

   Place a glass mixing bowl on a digital scale and measure out the required dry ingredients, including glutinous rice flour and high gluten flour, to ensure the correct texture for the dough.

   Tip: Make sure to tare the scale with the empty bowl before adding any ingredients for accurate measurement.
2. 2Dice the mozzarella cheese

   

   Take a block of white mozzarella cheese and use a knife to carefully cut it into small, uniform cubes on a purple cutting board so it melts evenly inside the wrap.

   Tip: Cutting the cheese into small, even pieces helps it distribute better and melt faster during cooking.
3. 3Prepare the spicy noodles

   

   Take a portion of spicy chicken noodles from the packet, ensure they are cooked, and combine them with the dark spicy sauce in a bowl to create the flavorful filling.

   Tip: Use about a quarter of a pack or adjust the amount based on how much filling you prefer.
4. 4Add hot water to the flour

   

   Gradually pour hot water into the bowl containing the dry flour mixture while stirring continuously with wooden chopsticks to combine the ingredients evenly.

   Tip: Always use hot water and add it a little at a time to achieve the right consistency for kneading.
5. 5Knead the dough

   

   Using gloved hands, knead the mixture directly inside the glass bowl until it comes together and forms a cohesive dough ball.

   Tip: Take your time and knead slowly until the dough texture becomes smooth and uniform.
6. 6Roll out the dough wrapper

   

   Sprinkle flour on a clean metal surface to prevent sticking, then use a wooden rolling pin to flatten the dough ball into a round wrapper of even thickness.

   Tip: Do not roll the wrapper too thin, otherwise it might leak during cooking.
7. 7Layer fillings on dough

   

   Place a generous handful of cubed mozzarella and shredded cheese in the center of the rolled-out dough as a base, then top it with spicy chicken noodles and shredded crab sticks.

   Tip: Do not skimp on the ingredients, but keep them clustered in the center so the dough can be wrapped easily.
8. 8Wrap the dough

   

   Carefully gather the edges of the dough wrapper and bring them together over the large mound of filling. Gently stretch and pinch the dough to enclose all the ingredients completely.

   Tip: If you added a lot of filling, wrapping it might feel awkward. Just take your time and gently bring the edges together.
9. 9Seal and shape the dough ball

   

   Gather the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling completely, then gently pinch and smooth out any small cracks to form a large, round dough ball.

   Tip: If there are small cracks or gaps, gently pinch them together to ensure the filling wont leak out during frying.
10. 10Deep fry the dough ball

    

    Lower the stuffed dough ball carefully into a red pot filled with hot oil and fry slowly over low heat until golden and crispy.

    Tip: Test the oil temperature with a chopstick first; if small bubbles form around it, the oil is ready. Fry slowly on low heat without moving it too much.
11. 11Remove from oil

    

    Carefully lift the fully cooked, golden-brown crispy dough ball out of the hot oil using a metal wire skimmer.

    Tip: Wait a few seconds if the cheese bulges out slightly during frying; this ensures the inside is completely cooked through.
12. 12Coat with spicy cheese powder

    

    Transfer the hot fried ball into a bowl containing bright orange spicy cheese powder and roll it around until the surface is evenly coated.

    Tip: Coat the ball immediately while it is still hot so the powder adheres well to the crispy crust.
