Karaage Chicken Sandwich image

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.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 25

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

Steps:

  • 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.
