This dish is the perfect mix of comfort and fresh, bold flavors. Juicy chicken strips with a golden, crispy coating are served alongside a creamy, dreamy peanut coconut sauce that has just the right balance of nuttiness and sweetness. Paired with a zesty edamame slaw, this combo is perfect for when you want something that feels indulgent but light and fresh at the same time. It’s all about that crunch, that sauce, and that fresh bite!

These crispy chicken strips are best served hot and fresh out of the pan with the sauce on the side or drizzled on top – your call! The peanut coconut sauce adds that creamy richness, and the fresh edamame slaw balances everything with its light crunch. Perfect for a casual weeknight dinner, a weekend lunch, or even a fun appetizer for a gathering. Pair it with some steamed rice or fresh greens for an extra touch.

Store any leftover chicken and slaw separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. To keep the chicken crispy, reheat it in the oven instead of the microwave. The peanut coconut sauce can be kept for 3 days in the fridge.

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • salad bowl
  • two small bowls
  • sieve
  • small pot with lid
  • three shallow bowls for breading
  • large pan

Ingredients

Units Scale
CRISPY CHICKEN
  • 400 grams chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tbsp panko
  • 4 tbsp bread crumbs
  • clarified butter for frying
PEANUT COCONUT SAUCE
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 piece of ginger as the same size as the garlic clove
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp sweet & sour sauce
  • 100 milliliters coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
SLAW
  • 150 grams red cabbage
  • 150 grams white cabbage
  • 100 grams edamame
  • 1 spring onion
  • 2 tbsp cilantro
SLAW DRESSING
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • juice of 1/2 a lemon

Instructions

  1. First, we’ll prepare the slaw. Slice the red and white cabbage into thin strips, wash them thoroughly, dry them, and put them in a salad bowl. Place the frozen edamame in a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let them sit for 5 minutes. In the meantime, slice the spring onions into thin rings and pick the cilantro leaves off the stems, chopping them finely. Add both to the cabbage. Drain the edamame and add them to the slaw as well. Mix everything well and set it aside.
  2. Next, grab a small bowl to prepare the dressing for the salad. Mix rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame seeds, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Don’t pour the dressing over the slaw just yet—set it aside for now.
  3. Now, let’s make the peanut coconut sauce. Peel and grate the garlic and ginger, then sauté them in some sesame oil in a small pot. Add the following ingredients: soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sweet & sour sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, chili, and coconut milk. Stir everything well. If the sauce is too thick, just thin it out with a little water. Keep it warm on very low heat with the lid on.
  4. Set up a breading station with flour, egg, and a mix of panko and breadcrumbs. Coat the chicken in flour, shake off the excess, then dip it in the egg, making sure it’s well-covered. Finally, press it into the panko and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring the breading sticks well on all sides. Fry the chicken in a large pan with a bit of clarified butter over medium heat until crispy and cooked through. Slice the chicken into strips.
  5. Pour the dressing over the slaw and mix everything well. Distribute the salad onto deep plates, then drizzle the peanut coconut sauce over it. Finally, place the crispy chicken strips on top of the sauce. Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds and spring onions.

Pineapple Coconut Oil

Pineapple Coconut Oil


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 80 min
  • Yield: 1 cup / 250 ml

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • 2 fine sieves
  • coffee filter
  • oil bottle

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 200 grams pineapple
  • 250 milliliters cold-pressed coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Cut off the pineapple skin and cut the flesh into large chunks. Put them into the blender. Since coconut oil solidifies below 23°C (73°F), you might need to warm it up briefly so it can be poured over the pineapple chunks in liquid form. Pour the oil into the blender and blend everything on the highest setting until it becomes pastel yellow and only small pieces of the pineapples are longer visible.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat, constantly stirring, to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F). Then, let the mixture cook for the next 45 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady. This cooking time is essential for all the water to evaporate, allowing the perishable solids to settle at the bottom and the oil to float on top. You’ll know all the water has evaporated when the oil in the pot barely bubbles anymore – so if it’s still bubbling vigorously, keep it simmering.
  3. Once the oil mixture is no longer bubbling, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool a bit. Pour the oil into the first fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  4. Then, pour the oil into the second fine mesh sieve, which you before equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
  5. Allow the oil to drip through for about 30 minutes or maybe less depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.

Recommended Equipment

  • tall glass with a lid
  • two large bowls
  • spatula
  • two medium-sized bowls
  • grater
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board

Ingredients

Units Scale
PRE-DOUGH
  • 50 grams pizza flour (in Germany Typ 00)
  • 50 grams water, luke warm
  • 1/8 tsp dry active yeast
DOUGH
  • 250 grams pizza flour (in Germany Typ 00)
  • 150 grams water, room temperature
  • 1/8 tsp dry active yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
BUTTE PARMESAN GARLIC SAUCE
  • 50 grams butter
  • 20 grams parmesan
  • 8 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
  • pinch of salt
GRATED TOMATO DIP
  • 3 mid-sized tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • Evening before Day 1: Prepare the pre-dough. Mix flour, dry active yeast, and water in a tall glass until no lumps remain and the consistency is sticky. Cover loosely with a lid and let it sit at room temperature overnight.
  • Day 1: Combine the pre-dough from the first evening with the dough ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until everything just comes together. Use a dough scraper or spatula to clean the sides of the bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes. After this time, grab the dough with a wet hand on one side, gently lift it, and fold it over onto the other side. Continue this process until the dough has been lifted and folded all the way around. Repeat this step 3 more times, every 30 minutes. After the 4th stretch and fold, shape the dough into a round ball with a taut surface and place it back in the bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Day 2: Take the dough out of the fridge and divide it into 11-12 equal portions with 50g / 1.8o each on a lightly floured surface. Roll each portion into a long dough rope, then form a knot and press the ends together on the back of the knot. Place the knots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them. Cover them with a damp kitchen towel and let them rise at room temperature for the next 3 hours. Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F towards the end of the rising time.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Once the oven is hot, place the baking sheet with the dough knots in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Then, brown them for an additional 5 minutes using the grill function at 250°C / 480°F.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the butter-parmesan sauce. Melt butter in a medium-sized bowl, then finely grate the parmesan into it. Peel the garlic and either grate or press it into the bowl. Finely chop the parsley and add it to the bowl as well. Mix everything together and season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  3. For the dip, finely grate the tomatoes, leaving the skin behind (it won’t be used in the dip). Transfer the grated tomatoes to a bowl, mix with a bit of olive oil and salt, and pour into a small serving dish.
  4. Take the knots out of the oven and immediately place them in a large bowl. Pour the butter-parmesan sauce over them and toss well to coat each knot. Transfer the knots to a basket and serve with the dip. They taste best warm and fresh from the oven.

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • small pan
  • parchment paper
  • rolling pin
  • tall container
  • electric mixer
  • small pot
  • small glass
  • medium-sized bowl

Ingredients

Units Scale
HAZELNUT BRITTLE
  • 75 grams hazelnuts
  • 50 grams white sugar
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • pinch of salt
CHANTILLY CREAM
  • 100 milliliters heavy cream, cold
  • 25 grams powdered sugar
CHOCOLADE PUDDING
  • 300 milliliters whole-fat milk
  • 200 grams milk chocolate
  • 100 milliliters heavy cream
  • 30 grams white sugar
  • 15 grams cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Hazelnut Brittle: First, finely chop the hazelnuts and set them aside. Next, prepare two sheets of parchment paper. Then, add the sugar and a pinch of salt to a small pan and heat it over medium heat until the sugar starts to become transparent. Once most of the sugar has melted, slowly stir with a spoon until the sugar turns amber. Quickly add 1 tablespoon of butter and stir well. Then, mix in the chopped hazelnuts and pour the entire mixture onto one of the sheets of parchment paper. Place the other sheet of parchment paper on top and roll it flat with a rolling pin. Set it aside to cool. Once the brittle has cooled, you can chop it into small crumbs with a knife or break it down in a food processor. Store it in a bag until ready to use.
  2. Chantilly Cream: In a tall container, whip the cold cream at low speed while gradually adding the powdered sugar. Once the cream starts to thicken, increase the speed to medium and continue whipping until the cream is creamy and stiff. Keep it in the fridge until ready to use.
  3. Chocolate Pudding: In a small pot, combine 2/3 of the milk, cream, sugar (you can skip the sugar if you don’t like it too sweet), and vanilla extract, and heat over medium heat. Meanwhile, finely grate the chocolate. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chocolate until it melts. In a small glass, mix the remaining 1/3 of the milk with the cornstarch until smooth, then pour it into the chocolate pudding and bring it to a boil while stirring. The pudding will thicken as it cooks. You can either serve the pudding warm or pour it into a bowl and cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Let the bowl cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. To serve, spoon the pudding into glasses or bowls, top with 1-1.5 tablespoons of the Chantilly cream, and finish with a tablespoon of the hazelnut brittle.

  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat to a temperature of about 103°C (217°F), and maintain this temperature for the next 40 minutes. Stir occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
  3. Prepare a bowl large enough to fit a medium-sized pot, and fill it with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over one medium-sized bowl and another fine sieve strainer, with a coffee filter inside it, over another medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  5. Then, pour the oil into the second sieve, which is equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
  6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 30 minutes or maybe less depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
