  2. Salt and pepper, to taste
  3. 2 tablespoonsall-purpose flour (about 16 g)
  4. 2 tablespoonswater (about 30 ml)
  5. 1 teaspoonmayonnaise (about 5 g)
  6. as neededPanko breadcrumbs,

  8. Toppings (optional)
  9. Sweet miso sauce (see Recipe ID: 19702030), as needed
  10. Toasted white sesame seeds, to taste

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, mix together the flour, water, and mayonnaise until smooth.

  2. 2

    Cut the chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces. If any pieces are thick, make a slit with a knife to flatten them. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Dip the chicken pieces into the batter from step 1, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Pour about 1/2 inch (1 cm) of oil into a frying pan and heat. Add the breaded chicken and shallow fry on both sides until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Place the cooked chicken on paper towels to drain excess oil. Once cooled, pack into your bento box, drizzle with sweet miso sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!

  6. 6

    For reference: I use panko made with durum semolina flour for extra crispiness, even after cooling!
