Fried Hamster

Marinade In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, and black pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.

Marinating Place the hamster in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the hamster is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Breading In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, bread crumbs, paprika, salt, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper to make the breading.

Coating with Breading Remove the marinated hamster from the refrigerator. Coat each piece of hamster with the breading mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the breading to the hamster.

Frying Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded hamster pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Serve Transfer the fried hamster to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot as a unique and adventurous dish.
