MISO CHICKEN SANDWICHES WITH GINGER MAYONNAISE
This is one of my favorite new things to make. It is amazingly easy to put together, the chicken cooks quickly, and the resulting sandwich is fabulous! It's faster than take-out. When I first made these, I thought the chicken tasted a bit salty on it's own. But once it's all together in the sandwich, the flavors blend perfectly, and it wasn't salty at all. I did use low sodium soy sauce, by the way. It's one of those things that make you want to go back for more, even though you're already full, lol. From the Food Network Kitchens Cookbook...they use multigrain sandwich bread, we used nice crusty rolls.

Steps:
- Make the chicken: Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Whisk the miso, mirin, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger and toasted sesame oil in a bowl.
- Place the chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a heavy skillet or the flat side of a meat mallet until an even 1/2-inch thickness. Marinate the chicken in the miso mixture while you make the quick pickles.
- Make the quick pickles: Combine the cucumbers, carrot, red onion and chile in a nonreactive bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the ginger, rice vinegar, sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour over the vegetables and add 4 ice cubes. Refrigerate, stirring once or twice, until chilled, 30 minutes. Drain.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper and grill until browned and well marked, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and grill until the chicken is cooked through, about 2 more minutes.
- Top the chicken with the quick pickles.
GINGER-MISO MAYO
Steps:
- Mix 2 tablespoons white miso, 3/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger and 2 teaspoons honey.
MISO CHICKEN
Making a compound of unsalted butter and the salty, fungal deliciousness of Japanese miso paste is a surefire way of adding immense flavor to a simple weeknight meal. Here the mixture is spread over chicken thighs, which are then roasted to golden perfection. But you could easily use it on salmon or flounder, on corn or potatoes. The recipe calls for white miso, which is more mild than the aged version known as red miso. But you could certainly use red for a more intense result.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine butter, miso, honey, rice vinegar and black pepper in a large bowl and mix with a spatula or spoon until it is well combined.
- Add chicken to the bowl and massage the miso-butter mixture all over it. Place the chicken in a single layer in a roasting pan and slide it into the oven. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, turning the chicken pieces over once or twice, until the skin is golden brown and crisp, and the internal temperature of the meat is 160 to 165 degrees.

MISO CHICKEN IN GINGER, LEEK AND SCALLION BROTH
This chicken dish gets most of its flavor from miso, the traditional Japanese paste made from fermented soybeans or other grains, and relies on boneless, skinless thighs, which are nearly impossible to overcook. First simmered in water (or chicken broth for depth), the thighs are then slathered with a seasoned miso mixture and roasted until the miso forms a beautiful glaze. Use light miso (yellow or white) for a mild, nutty flavor, or dark miso (red or brown) for a deeper rustic quality. Both kinds keep up to a year in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Put chicken thighs in a large pot, seasoning well with salt and pepper on both sides. Add smashed garlic cloves, ginger slices, onion, 6 cups water (or chicken broth, if you prefer) and mirin, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for 30 minutes, until tender. Remove chicken to a baking dish. Strain broth into a bowl. Place back into the pot, and keep warm. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine miso, gochugaru, grated garlic, grated ginger, vinegar and sugar. Add a little hot broth to thin, then smear mixture over chicken and coat well.
- Bake chicken until browned and glazed, about 20 minutes.
- While chicken is cooking, bring broth to a simmer, taste and adjust seasoning. Add leeks and cook until just done - soft, but still green, about 5 minutes.
- To serve, slice chicken into 1/4-inch pieces and divide among large soup bowls, then ladle broth on top. Spoon any remaining miso mixture from pan over chicken. Garnish with scallions.
Tips:
- Use high-quality miso paste. The flavor of your chicken sandwiches will be greatly influenced by the quality of the miso paste you use. Look for a paste that is made with whole soybeans and has a rich, earthy flavor.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful. If you don't have time to marinate the chicken for 30 minutes, you can marinate it for a shorter amount of time, but the flavor will not be as intense.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will cook too quickly and become tough.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through before you assemble the sandwiches. You can check to see if the chicken is cooked through by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a variety of toppings on your sandwiches. This will add flavor and texture to the sandwiches. Some good options for toppings include lettuce, tomato, avocado, and cheese.
Conclusion:
Miso chicken sandwiches with ginger mayonnaise are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The miso paste marinade gives the chicken a flavorful and slightly sweet taste, while the ginger mayonnaise adds a bit of spice and tang. These sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy chicken, give these miso chicken sandwiches a try!
