Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
Mix together the finely chopped spring onion, garlic and ginger and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan. Add half of the chicken and cook, stirring every so often, for 5 minutes (depending on how thick the pieces are) until nearly cooked through but still tender.
Set aside, then repeat for the remaining chicken.
Return the first batch of chicken to the pan and add the garlic, ginger and spring onion mix. Stir fry until the chicken starts to get some golden bits.
Add the sauce to the pan and continue to stir fry for another couple of minutes until it thickens.
Heat the tortillas according to the packet or you can heat them on a grill or over a flame (being very careful not to burn yourself).
To assemble start by placing some cabbage, carrot and cucumber on the tortilla, follow with some chicken mixture. Sprinkle with the togarashi and extra spring onion. Finally add kewpie mayonnaise and devour.
Recipe Notes:
I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon
Togarashi, Gochujang and Mirin are available from many supermarkets now but if you can’t find it, your local Asian grocer will definitely have them.
