📝 Preparation Steps
1
Marinate the chicken
2
Thinly slice the lemongrass stalks. Chop the shallot. Add the lemongrass, shallot and remaining marinade components to a blender or food processor. Blend until well mixed and the shallots & lemongrass are finely diced. Add the marinade to the chicken and let it rest in the fridge for ⏱️ 30 minutes or up to overnight. Thin out the chicken into even thin pieces. This will help the chicken cook more evenly.

Sear the chicken
4
Set a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and let it sear undisturbed for ⏱️ 3-5 minutes until browning starts to develop. Flip the chicken over and let it sear on the other side until it reaches 165°F/74°C.

Prep the sandwich bread & toppings

While the chicken is searing, thinly slice a cucumber into planks. Spread the kewpie mayo on the bottom of the baguette, followed by the sriracha. Then lay down the slices of cucumber, pickled carrots, and lastly cilantro.

Slice & add the chicken
8
Once the chicken is finished searing, remove from the skillet and thinly slice it. Add the chicken to the dressed baguette and drizzle with extra maggi seasoning. Close the sandwich and wrap with parchment paper. This will help everything compress together and changes the texture of the sandwich. Slice in half and enjoy!
