Crunchy Japanese karaage chicken sandwiches with miso mayo and Asian slaw on toasted potato buns.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon sake
  • 1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup white miso paste
  • 0.125 cup grated ginger
  • 0.125 cup grated garlic
  • 0.125 cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 0.75 cup shredded carrots
  • 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 0.5 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 cup peanut oil for frying, or as needed
  • 0.5 cup cornstarch
  • 4 potato buns, split and toasted
  • 0.5 teaspoon shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice), or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a glass or ceramic bowl, mix together sake, mirin, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper to make the marinade. Add the chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the miso mayonnaise by mixing mayonnaise, miso, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and honey in a bowl while the chicken marinates.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the cabbage, carrots, cilantro, green onions, vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper to create the slaw.
  • Preheat oil to 350°F in a deep-fryer or large saucepan. Coat marinated chicken with cornstarch, shaking off any extra.
  • Sear chicken in hot oil until golden brown and fully cooked, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Spread the miso mayonnaise on the toasted buns, then layer on the fried chicken, coleslaw, and finish with a sprinkle of togarashi before serving.
