📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prep the cabbage slaw
2
Thinly slice the cabbage and add it to a bowl with a generous sprinkle of salt. Massage the salt into the cabbage to help break it down. The salt will soften the cabbage and draw out some moisture. Meanwhile, grate the ginger and apple on a box grater. Add it to the salted cabbage along with the mayo, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Mix together and taste — it should be strongly flavored since it’s a topping for the sandwich. Adjust as needed. Set aside.

Prep the chicken & frying oil
4
Butterfly or pound out 1/2 a chicken breast into an even thickness. Sprinkle with salt on both sides. If time allows, you can salt the chicken ahead of time so it dry brines. In a cast iron, dutch oven, or wok, add about 1/2 inch of neutral oil and begin heating over medium-low.

Dredge the chicken
6
Add a spoonful of flour to the salted chicken. Pat the chicken to form a thin, even coating of flour. Shake off any excess. Scramble the egg into a wide bowl and then add a handful of panko breadcrumbs into another plate or container Pass the floured chicken through the egg until well coated, then transfer the panko. Add more panko breadcrumbs as needed, and press them into the chicken. It should have a thick, even coating of breadcrumbs.

Make the curry sauce
8
Add the curry cube and a splash of water into a sauce pan over medium heat. The water will dissolve the cube. Add more water if needed. Simmer and reduce the curry sauce until thickened into a gravy like consistency. If it gets too thick, add a splash of water to thin it back out. Turn off the heat.

Fry the chicken & toast the bun
10
Once the oil has reached 350°F/176°C, gently lay in the breaded chicken away from you into the oil. Shallow fry for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown, then flip. Continue shallow frying the chicken (flipping as needed to evenly brown each side) until cooked through to at least 155°F/70°C. While that goes, toast or warm the bun.
11
Coat the chicken and assemble
12
Add the fried chicken to the curry saucepan and gently flip to evenly coat the breading in the sauce. Add a handful of slaw to the bottom bun. Top with the sauced chicken patty. Close the sandwich and enjoy warm.
