Main Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickled Veggies

    In a bowl, mix sliced cucumber, carrot, and daikon radish. In a separate bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour over the veggies and let them pickle for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Dredge chicken thighs in flour, shaking off excess. Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Blister the Shishito Peppers

    In the same pan, add shishito peppers and cook until blistered, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt.

  4. 4

    Make Gochujang Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and gochujang until well combined.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sammy

    Toast the brioche buns. Spread gochujang aioli on the bottom bun, layer with crispy chicken, pickled veggies, and blistered shishito peppers. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.
