Asian Chicken Stacks With Wasabi Cream Recipes

WASABI PEA-CRUSTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil. Whirl the wasabi peas in a blender until they are the consistency of bread crumbs, and spread them on a plate. Dip one side of the chicken breasts into the peas, pressing gently so that the surface is evenly coated with the wasabi crumbs. Repeat with the other side of chicken breast. Set aside and continue with the remaining chicken breasts.
• In a large, flat-bottomed nonstick skillet, heat the butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook until the pea crust becomes crisp and starts to brown lightly, about 4 minutes, turn and lightly brown the other side. Lift the edge of each breast carefully to check the browning, and lower the heat if necessary to prevent burning. Turn the breasts and continue to cook until the fillets are medium rare, about 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain briefly. Place chicken into a baking dish and bake on 375 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes.

MONGOLIAN KICKIN' WINGS WITH CREAMY WASABI DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice and wasabi in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Keep the sauce in the fridge until ready to serve.
• For the wings: Cut the meat of the drumettes at the base of the bone and pull the meat down to form lollipops.
• In a saucepan, combine the honey, sweet soy sauce, sambal chili sauce, vinegar, Sriracha, ginger, low-sodium and regular soy sauce, garlic, black pepper and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook until thickened a bit. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl.
• Fill a large, heavy pot just over halfway with oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F. Fry the wings in batches until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately toss the hot wings with the sauce.
• Serve the wings with the dipping sauce on the side.
