Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut chicken into 1.5-inch bite-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, salt, and pepper in a bowl; toss chicken to coat evenly, 2 minutes.

    Dust chicken with flour, shaking off excess until all pieces are lightly coated.

  6. Step 6

    Toss shredded cabbage with a splash of rice vinegar and pinch of salt for the slaw.

    Arrange karaage, warm rice, slaw, and potato salad on plates. Serve hot.
