Drescription
Karaage is a Japanese cooking technique similar to deep frying . I used it to create a delicious fried chicken sandwich. I also added some miso mayonnaise and an Asian-style slaw into the equation.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sake
- 1 tablespoon mirin (japanese sweet wine)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon grated garlic
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup white miso paste
- ⅛ cup grated ginger
- ⅛ cup grated garlic
- ⅛ cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- ¾ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ cup cider vinegar
- ¼ cup finely chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup peanut oil for frying, or as needed
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 4 potato buns, split and toasted
- ½ teaspoon shichimi togarashi (japanese seven spice), or to taste
Directions
- Combine sake, mirin, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper for marinade in a glass or ceramic bowl and mix well. Add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- While chicken marinates, combine mayonnaise, miso, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and honey for the miso mayonnaise in a bowl.
- Combine cabbage, carrots, cilantro, vinegar, green onions, sesame oil, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper for the slaw in another bowl.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove chicken from marinade and dredge in cornstarch, knocking off any excess.
- Fry chicken in the hot oil until no longer pink in the centers and golden brown on the outsides, 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
- Coat toasted buns with miso mayonnaise. Add fried chicken, top with slaw, and sprinkle each with togarashi. Serve.
