Ingredients You’ll Need:

For the Crispy Chicken:

• 300g chicken breast, precision-cut into bite-sized pieces for the perfect crunch
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour for a golden coat
• A pinch of salt and a whisper of pepper for seasoning
• A generous pour of oil for a sizzle in the pan

For the Signature Firecracker Sauce:

• 2/3 cup of the illustrious Tabchilli Paste, the hot sauce made in Dubai that’s steeped in flavor and tradition
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melting into a pool of rich goodness
• 2 tbsp white vinegar, to cut through the richness with a tangy zing
• A dash of Worcestershire sauce for that umami depth
• A hint of cayenne for a whisper of heat, alongside garlic powder for a warm embrace
• A sprinkle of salt to elevate the flavors to new heights
• A touch of brown sugar for a caramel-like sweetness
• A splash of rice vinegar to meld the flavors together
• A scattering of chili flakes for a final fiery flourish

For the Bowl Assembly:

• 150g of Sushi Rice, sticky and sweet, prepared to perfection
• The Tab Buffalo Sauce, born from the firecracker sauce that’s been patiently simmered
• The Asian Salad, crisp and fresh, dressed in the essence of the East
• Asian Sesame Dressing, the liquid gold of dressings, tying the salad together
• Optional but recommended garnishes: Sliced avocado for creaminess, toasted sesame seeds for a nutty crunch, and sliced green onions for a pop of color and flavor

The Creation:

1. The Chicken’s Transformation:
   • Begin by enveloping your chicken in a seasoned flour coat, ensuring each piece is dressed for the occasion.
   • In a pan, let the oil dance until it’s hot enough to welcome the chicken to its crispy destiny. Once golden and tempting, rest the pieces aside.
2. The Alchemy of the Firecracker Sauce:
   • In the cauldron of a saucepan, bring together the famed Tabchilli Paste with butter, vinegars, and spices.
   • Stir with purpose until each ingredient whispers its secrets to the others, combining into a sauce that’s the epitome of balance—sweet, tangy, spicy, and utterly irresistible.
   • Let it cool to a rich thickness, a velvet cloak to drape over your chicken.
3. The Grand Assembly:
   • Lay down a bed of sticky sushi rice, the perfect canvas for our masterpiece.
   • Dress the crispy chicken in its firecracker sauce finery, then let it rest atop the rice.
   • Tuck the Asian Salad next to its chicken companion, before draping it in the luxurious Asian Sesame Dressing.
   • Garnish with the optional but highly recommended toppings, each adding a new layer of texture and flavor.
