Chicken Bahn Mi With Apple Kale Slaw Recipes

BAHN MI NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Place the red onions in a medium bowl. Combine 1 cup of the vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 cup salt, and the sugar, allspice, cinnamon and star anise in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower to simmer and cook until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Pour the liquid and spices over the onions. Let cool, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 day.
• Place the macadamia nuts in a small skillet over medium-high heat and cook, tossing, until golden brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a bowl and season with salt and white pepper. Let the nuts cool completely, then roughly chop.
• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, yellow onions and ginger, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour in the brandy and tilt the skillet slightly so the alcohol catches flame. Once the flame dies down, scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen any caramelized bits and then continue cooking until the brandy is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the liver pate and cook, stirring, until fully heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Scrape the liver mixture into a food processor and blend until smooth. Press the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding any solids. Add the remaining 1/4 cup vinegar, the sriracha, mirin, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, lime juice and all but 1 teaspoon lime zest and whisk to combine.
• Add the rice noodles to the liver sauce, toss until evenly coated, and then transfer the noodles to a serving platter. Drain the pickled red onions from their liquid and sprinkle evenly over the noodles. Top with the macadamia nuts, cilantro, scallions and the reserved lime zest.

ITALIAN KALE SLAW WITH SUNNY-SIDE UP EGGS

Steps:

• Toss the kale, fennel, leek, radishes, Parmesan and almonds together with the lemon vinaigrette and season well with the salt and pepper. Allow this to marinate for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
• When ready to serve, heat a large saute pan over high heat and add oil. Once heated, add 2 to 3 eggs to the pan and cook sunny-side up for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve on top of individually plated portions of slaw.
• Reserve any leftover dressing for serving. Any leftover salad will still be as good the next day.
• Place the shallot, preserved lemon rind, honey, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt and pepper in a blender. Pulse to blend. With the motor running, slowly add in the olive oils to emulsify. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.

KALE SLAW

Steps:

• Place the kale into a salad bowl. Toss with the carrot, orange juice, lemon juice ,and salt, and using your hands, rub the acid into the kale. Let the kale sit a few minutes while you shock the onion. Prepare a large bowl of ice water and a saucepan with boiling water. Place the thinly sliced onion into the boiling water for 15 to 30 seconds, and then shock them in the cold water, stopping the cooking immediately. Drain the water and blot the onions with a paper towel. Add the onion, bacon, olive oil, salt and pepper and toss well. Add the mayonnaise and mix the slaw well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be made several hours in advance.

BANH MI

Steps:

• Place rice vinegar, water, and sugar into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and stir until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Allow the mixture to cool.
• Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the carrot, radish, and onion in a bowl, and allow to stand for at least 30 minutes. Drain off the excess vinegar mixture after the vegetables have marinated.
• While the vegetables are marinating, preheat the oven's broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Lightly oil a slotted broiler pan.
• Sprinkle the chicken breast with garlic salt and pepper, and broil on slotted broiler pan, turning once, until the center of the chicken breast is no longer pink and the surface has browned, about 6 minutes per side. Remove the broiled chicken, and slice into bite-size pieces.
• Slice the baguette in half the long way, and pull the center of the bread out of the baguette halves, leaving a cavity for the filling. Place the baguette halves under the broiler to lightly toast, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To assemble the bahn mi sandwich, spread each half of the toasted baguette with mayonnaise, and fill the cavity of the bottom half of the bread with broiled chicken, cucumber slices, pickled carrot, onion, and radish, cilantro leaves, and jalapeno pepper. Squeeze a wedge of lime over the filling, and top with the other half of the baguette.
