Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Japanese Karaage Chicken Sandwich.
Step 1
To start your culinary adventure, grab a glass or ceramic bowl and combine the sake, mirin, grated ginger, grated garlic, soy sauce, and a sprinkle of ground black pepper to whip up a flavorful marinade.
Step 2
Once mixed, add the chicken thighs, making sure they’re thoroughly coated in this delicious blend.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to soak up all those wonderful flavors.
Step 4
While the chicken is soaking in the goodness, let’s create a creamy miso mayonnaise.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix together mayonnaise, miso, more grated ginger, grated garlic, soy sauce, and a touch of honey.
Step 6
Stir until the mixture is smooth and velvety, then set it aside to let the flavors meld.
Step 7
Next, it’s time to prepare a vibrant slaw.
Step 8
In another bowl, toss together shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped cilantro, vinegar, chopped green onions, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 9
Mix everything well and set it aside to let those fresh flavors shine.
Step 10
Now, heat oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 11
Once the oil is hot, take the marinated chicken out of the fridge and dredge each piece in cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
Step 12
Carefully lower the chicken into the hot oil and fry until it’s golden brown and cooked through, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
Step 13
Once done, remove the chicken and let it drain on paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
Step 14
Now comes the fun part—assembling your sandwiches! Start by spreading a generous layer of that luscious miso mayonnaise on toasted buns.
Step 15
Place a crispy piece of fried chicken on each bun, then top it off with a heap of your colorful slaw.
Step 16
For an extra kick, sprinkle a little togarashi on top.
Step 17
Serve these mouthwatering sandwiches immediately and get ready to enjoy a burst of flavors that will leave everyone asking for seconds!.
