This recipe is perfect for those days when you want a satisfying meal without the fuss. The crispy chicken nuggets, creamy mayonnaise, and tangy pickled radish create a harmonious flavor that everyone from kids to adults will love.
Main Ingredients- 400g frozen chicken nuggets
- 4 Tbsp finely chopped pickled radish (about 40g)
- 4 bowls cooked rice
- A small handful of baby greens
Chicken Mayo Sauce- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp tonkatsu sauce
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp tonkatsu sauce
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the frozen chicken nuggets. If using an air fryer, set the temperature to 180℃ (350℉) and cook for about 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. You can also pan-fry them over medium heat until golden on both sides, or deep-fry them. Ensure the chicken nuggets are heated through and deliciously crispy.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious chicken mayo sauce! In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp of soy sauce and 2 Tbsp of tonkatsu sauce. Mix them well. A 1:1 ratio of soy sauce to tonkatsu sauce provides a perfect balance of savory and sweet. You don’t need a measuring cup; just maintain the ratio for a great flavor.
Step 3
Place the warm cooked rice into serving bowls. Arrange the crispy chicken nuggets, cut into bite-sized pieces, evenly over the rice. Cutting the chicken nuggets while they are still warm helps them maintain their shape beautifully without crumbling.
Step 4
Next, add the finely chopped pickled radish for a sweet and tangy kick. Squeeze out any excess liquid from the chopped pickled radish thoroughly with your hands before sprinkling it evenly over the rice and chicken. This step is crucial to prevent the rice bowl from becoming watery.
Step 5
This is the final step! Drizzle the prepared soy sauce and tonkatsu sauce mixture in a zigzag pattern over the rice and chicken nuggets. Generously add mayonnaise on top to make it even more appetizing. Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking. Finally, garnish with fresh baby greens for a beautiful presentation. Your delicious and visually appealing Chicken Mayo Rice Bowl is now complete!
