Best Ponzu Chicken With Japanese Coleslaw Recipes

IZAKAYA SAKURA CHICKEN KARAAGE AND PONZU COLESLAW

Steps:

• Mix ponzu sauce, soy sauce and mayonnaise to make dressing. In a large bowl, mix cabbage, carrots and canned corn. Pour dressing mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat. Chill for an hour.
• Cut chicken into 1 1/2 inch square pieces. Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over medium heat (350 F). Oil is ready when a bread cube dropped in oil turns brown on the bottom in 20 seconds.
• Pour 1 package of Karaage Coating Mix in a large plastic bag. Moisten chicken in water, allowing excess to drip off. Add a dozen pieces at a time to the bag. Close the top of the bag and shake well to coat all pieces evenly.
• Pan-fry half of pieces in hot oil, 2-4 minutes or until chicken is cooked, turning pieces over occasionally. Remove and drain excess oil on paper towels. Cook remaining pieces in same way.
• Serve karaage with coleslaw on side.

PONZU CHICKEN WITH JAPANESE COLESLAW

Steps:

• Marinate chicken in 6 tablespoons of Ponzu dressing. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours. Remove from fridge half an hour before cooking.
• Combine 2 tablespoons of oil, mirin, orange juice and rice vinegar in a large bowl and toss through cabbage, carrot and onion. Cover and refrigerate until required.
• Heat a wok or large frying pan until very hot. Drain the marinade from the chicken.
• Add the remaining two tablespoons of oil to the wok or frypan and cook the chicken pieces, turning occaisionally so the meat browns. When the chicken is nearly cooked stir through the remaining Ponzu sauce and reduce heat, simmering for one minute.
• Arrange a pile of coleslaw on the side of four plates, spooning the chicken and sauce beside each.

ASIAN SLAW WITH PONZU DRESSING

Steps:

• 1. Slice the snow peas on the diagonal into thin matchstick-sized pieces.
• 2. For carrots, you can purchase matchstick carrots, or slice them yourself (make sure to use a very sharp chef's knife).
• 3. I cut the cabbage into four wedges. We will only use 1 of the wedges. Then, I shred the cabbage as thinly as possible. To do this, use a vegetable peeler and go along the corner, or use a box grater with large holes or use a sharp knife to shred by hand.
• 4. Now for the fennel, cut the white bulb from the green top. Cut the bulb into quarters and slice one of the quarters as thin as possible using a knife, a vegetable peeler or a mandoline. Save all the leftover fennel for another recipe.
• 5. The dressing ingredients are simple: ponzu, toasted sesame oil, sesame seeds and salt. Add 1/4 cup of ponzu to a bowl, then add the sesame oil and seeds. Season with a big pinch of salt and whisk with fork.
• 6. Pour the dressing over the snow peas, carrots, cabbage and fennel.
• 7. Toss to combine and taste. You can add more ponzu and salt if needed and serve immediately..

PONZU CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Combine ponzu sauce, 1 cup cilantro, pineapple juice, mint leaves, garlic, fresh ginger, sesame oil, chili oil, and brown sugar together in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat.
• Remove chicken from ponzu sauce mixture, reserving marinade. Heat large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in olive oil, onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Pour reserved marinade into chicken mixture and bring to a boil. Stir in cabbage and cook until slightly wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken mixture into toasted hoagie buns and top each sandwich with 3 slices Swiss cheese.
• Place sandwiches onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and buns are toasted, about 5 minutes. Garnish each sandwich with 2 tablespoons cilantro, 1/4 of the sesame seeds, and 1/4 of the chile-garlic sauce. Serve with lime wedges.
