  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2/3 cup tamari/soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup japanese barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon chili crunch oil
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 4 chicken cutlets, or 2 boneless chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally
  • 2 cups panko
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1 bag frozen shelled edamame
  • rice noodles, cooked
  • pickled ginger, green onions, and nori sheets – for serving
  • 1/3 cup kewpie mayo
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha/hot sauce
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons japanese bbq sauce

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, Japanese barbecue sauce, honey, and ginger.
  2. In a separate bowl, place the chicken and pour over 2-3 tablespoons of the mixed sauce, reserving the rest for later.
  3. Combine Panko and 3 tablespoons of sesame seeds in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken in the Panko, pressing to adhere firmly. Set aside on a plate.
  4. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden brown on the other side. Remove the chicken and transfer to a cutting board.
  5. In the same skillet, add the edamame and cook until thawed. Toss in the cooked noodles along with the reserved sauce. Remove from heat.
  6. For the Spicy Mayo, mix all ingredients in a small bowl.
  7. To assemble, slice the chicken into thin strips. Serve the saucy noodles in bowls, topped with chicken, pickled ginger, green onions, and crumbled nori. Drizzle with the spicy mayo.

Notes

For extra crunch, ensure the Panko is pressed firmly onto the chicken before frying.
Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking, adding vegetables or other condiments as desired.
If you prefer a milder dish, adjust the amount of sriracha in the spicy mayo.
