INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Experience a crunch like no other with this unique dish that combines crispy fried rice paper with a lush mango avocado cashew salad. It’s a textural delight that’s bursting with freshness and flavor.

How to serve
Serve this crispy delight as a stunning appetizer or a light, refreshing meal. The crackle of the rice paper perfectly complements the soft, rich textures of avocado and mango, with cashews adding a satisfying crunch. It’s a dish best enjoyed immediately to secure the crispy rice paper and the cool, fresh salad. Alternatively for making it ahead, you can serve the salad and the deep-fried rice paper individually.

How to store
The crispy rice paper should be enjoyed right after frying to maintain its texture. However, the mango avocado cashew salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container and is best eaten within a day to keep the flavors vibrant and fresh.

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • small frying pan or pot
  • scissors
  • paper towels
  • salad bowl
  • small bowl

Ingredients

Units Scale
CUPS
  • 4 small rice paper
  • 200 milliliters deep-frying fat
DRESSING
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1/4 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
SALAD
  • 300 grams red cabbage
  • 1 ripe mango
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 40 grams cashew nuts
TOPPINGS
  • cress or sprouts
  • white sesame
  • spring onion

Instructions

  1. Heat about 1 cm of frying oil to 180°C / 356°F in a small frying pan. Carefully cut the rice paper into quarters using scissors, and fry each quarter in the hot oil for 5 seconds until it puffs up and turns fluffy white. Remove from the pan and let it drain on paper towels. Note: The paper is only pliable for a short time after being removed from the oil.
  2. For the salad, finely shred the red cabbage and place it in a salad bowl. Peel the mango and avocado and cut the flesh into bite-sized pieces, adding them to the salad bowl as well. Finally, add the cashews.
  3. For the dressing, mix avocado oil, lime juice, grated garlic and ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl and pour it over the salad. Mix everything well.
  4. Slice the green part of the spring onion into fine strips and set aside.
  5. If serving immediately, lay out the fried rice papers, fill each with 1-2 tablespoons of salad, and top each with white sesame seeds, cress, and the sliced spring onions. If not serving immediately, I recommend preparing both components separately.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Elevate your salad game with this green herb salad, a lush blend of romaine and butter lettuce mixed with sweet peas and tangy pickled onions, all dressed in a light, herb-infused yogurt dressing. It’s a garden-fresh delight that captures the essence of spring in every bite.

How to serve
This salad shines brightest when served fresh. Toss the crisp lettuces with the peas and pickled onions just before serving and sprinkle generously with dill, chives, and tarragon for that extra burst of freshness. It’s perfect alongside a grilled fish or as a standalone dish that’s both fulfilling and light.

How to store
Best enjoyed immediately, however, if you have leftovers, keep them separate in an airtight container in the fridge. The salad stays fresh for about two days, but it’s ideal to add the dressing just before serving to maintain crispness.

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • medium-sized bowl
  • plastic wrap
  • meat mallet
  • two plates
  • three shallow dishes for breading
  • large frying pan
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 slices white toast
  • 40 grams kewpie mayo
  • 40 grams tonkatsu sauce
  • 250 grams chicken breast
  • 1.5 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp panko bread crumbs
  • 3 tbsp regular bread crumbs
  • 50 grams clarified butter
  • 150 grams red cabbage
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

  • Cut the red cabbage into eighths and finely shred or slice one eighth. Place it in a medium-sized bowl and marinate with rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt. Set aside.
  • Detach 4 leaves from the head of lettuce and wash thoroughly. Pat dry and set aside.
  • Halve the chicken breast lengthwise, then cut each half again crosswise. Place each piece between two layers of plastic wrap and pound to about 0.5 cm / 0.2″ thickness using a meat mallet. Lay the flattened meat on a plate.
  • Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes or bowls. Fill the first dish with 1.5 heaped tablespoons of wheat flour, crack an egg into the second dish and whisk it. In the third dish, mix together 3 heaped tablespoons each of panko and breadcrumbs. Coat each piece of chicken first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg, and finally, press into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it’s well coated on all sides. Place the breaded pieces side by side on a plate.
  • Heat clarified butter in a large frying pan and fry the breaded chicken pieces on both sides until crispy, about 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let the meat drain on kitchen paper.
  • Place half of the slices of bread flat on a clean work surface, then place a lettuce leaf on each. Top each with a piece of cooked chicken, followed by a zigzag pattern of Kewpie mayo and Tonkatsu sauce. Add about 2 tablespoons of red cabbage salad on top of the sauces. Finally, top the sandwiches with another slice of bread. If desired, trim the edges all around and cut the sandwiches in half in the middle with a sharp knife.
