A banh mi without a bun? That's right—load up a plate of crispy lattice fries with spicy roasted chicken and top with quick-pickled veggies. So good!
Preparation Instructions:
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil, and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, cool.
Step 2
In a medium container, combine red onion, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, green onion, and cilantro. Pour cooled brine over vegetables and let marinate for a minimum of 1 hour.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine sliced chicken, gochujang, garlic, salt and pepper. Allow to marinate for 1 hour. Sauté and hold hot for service.
Step 4
For each serving, prepare 6 oz. fries according to package instructions. Keep hot. Place approximately 6 oz. of drained, pickled vegetables onto a small platter down the center. Surround the vegetables with fries. Top the vegetables with 4 oz. of cooked chicken thighs. Garnish with a drizzle of mayonnaise, cilantro sprig and a lime wedge.
