Instructions

1. 1Cut boneless chicken thighs into 1-1/2 inch pieces.
2. 2Grate ginger and garlic directly over the chicken.
3. 3Add liquid seasoning: soy sauce, mirin, sake, honey, salt.
4. 4Toss together until chicken is coated, then refrigerate for at least an hour.
5. 5While the chicken is marinating, whisk eggs with salt, sugar, and dashi.
6. 6Add neutral oil to a non-stick pan and start cooking this in layers.
7. 7Spread an initial layer down, whisk it, and make sure that it sets nicely and doesn't overcook on the bottom.
8. 8Once it's pretty much set, roll that over to one side, push it, and then add a second layer of egg to the bottom, making sure to keep this circular formation going.
9. 9Once that layer has set, roll the rolled side over the non-cooked side.
10. 10Repeat the spreading, rolling, and pushing back and forth to end up with a large rolled omelet.
11. 11Transfer the omelet to a resting surface, then shape and set in a cylindrical form, and cut off the ends.
12. 12Heat oil in a frying pan to 325°F.
13. 13Take the marinated chicken and toss a few pieces in potato starch to coat.
14. 14Add the chicken to the oil and let the first layer turn light golden brown.
15. 15Remove the batch of chicken and set on a sheet rack over a tray lined with paper towels.
16. 16Crank heat up to 375°F, and return the batch of chicken into the oil until it starts to get dark brown. Make sure to not overcrowd the pan.
17. 17In a wok, add soy sauce, chili crisp, honey, miso paste, and sesame oil together and let it simmer until it is nicely bubbled.
18. 18Dump non-wet fried chicken into the mixture, and mix so the chicken has a good even coating.
