Ingredients

  • 300 g chicken breast
  • 1 egg
  • 50 g flour
  • 60 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp sesame oil for the mayo
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp honey for the mayo
  • 2 large tortilla wraps
  • 2 handfuls lettuce
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice for the onion
  • 1 pinch salt for the onion
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Steps

  1. Slice the red onion as thinly as possible. Put it in a small bowl with 1 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice and 1 pinch of salt. Mix it well and let it sit while you prepare the rest.
  2. Wash the lettuce and dry it well. Cut the cucumber into thin sticks.
  3. Make the sesame mayo with mayonnaise, sesame oil, lime juice, and honey.
  4. Make the gochujang glaze with gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar or lime juice, and sesame oil.
  5. Cut the chicken breast into finger-sized strips.
  6. Prepare flour, egg, and panko bowls, then bread the chicken strips.
  7. Heat oil in a large pan and cook the chicken until crisp, golden, and cooked through.
  8. Turn the heat to low, add the glaze, and toss briefly until sticky.
  9. Warm the tortillas, then fill with sesame mayo, lettuce, cucumber, onion, chicken, and sesame.
  10. Fold the sides in and roll tightly. Serve immediately.

Tips

  • Do not glaze the chicken on high heat. The honey in the sauce can burn fast.
  • Panko breadcrumbs give the best crunch.
  • If the wrap is too full, it will rip.
  • Use chicken thighs for a cheaper version.
  • Use less gochujang for a milder wrap.
  • Add shredded cabbage for extra crunch.
