Ponzu Chicken With Japanese Coleslaw Recipes

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.

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 STIR FRY

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients (except the oil) in a large bowl.
• Turn the chicken thighs with tongs to coat. Cover the bowl in a tea towel. Marinate for 1 hour at room temperature.
• Remove chicken from the marinade. Pour oil into a large skillet and warm over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs. Cook uncovered for 4 minutes on each side, and then covered for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate. Pour in reserved ponzu marinade and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then pour the sauce over the chicken and serve hot.

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..
