3 chicken breasts (450 g), in big bite-size chunks
450 g
2 Tbsp (30 g) coconut aminos
30 g
1 Tbsp (12 g) grated ginger
12 g
3 cloves garlic, grated
9 g
1 tsp (4 g) toasted sesame oil
4 g
⅓ cup + 1 Tbsp (50 g) cornstarch
50 g
3¾ cups (300 g) shredded cabbage
300 g
1⅓ cups (240 g) cooked rice
240 g
lemon wedges (mandatory)
20 g
oil spray
8 g
Method
- Marinate the chicken in the aminos, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil, 30 minutes minimum — the ginger is the karaage signature.
- Drain lightly, then toss through the cornstarch until each piece wears a craggy, clumpy jacket. The clumps become the crunch.
- Mist heavily on all sides and air-fry at 400°F for 12–14 minutes, flipping once, until golden with darker ridges.
- Rest 2 minutes (the shell sets), then pile over rice with the cabbage and squeeze lemon over everything.
