ingredients

• Ponzu Coleslaw

• 3 tablespoons ponzu sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1⁄2 cabbage, finely sliced
• 2 carrots, thinly sliced
• 1⁄2 cup canned corn

• Karaage

• 1 (3 ounce) package karaage coating mix (Kikkoman KARA AGE Coating)
• 1 1⁄4 lbs boneless chicken thighs or 1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup vegetable oil

directions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Serve karaage with coleslaw on side.
