Chicken Salad Sliders

Chicken Salad Sliders

 

1 whole roasted chicken, meat removed

3 T. (18 g) lemon juice

1/2 cup (115 g) mayonnaise

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 cup (60 g) finely chopped celery

(optional diced onions)

12 Hawaiian sweet rolls

 

Put the cooked chicken in a food processor and pulse a few times to roughly chop. Stir, then continue pulsing for another 15 to 30 seconds, until the chicken is finely chopped. (Note: If you turn on the food processor and let it go, your chicken will become a paste instead of finely chopped. So be sure to pulse the chicken for best results.) In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and cumin, and blend until thoroughly combined. Add the chicken to the mayo mixture, and fold with a spatula. Next, fold in the celery. Slice the rolls in half horizontally. Top each roll bottom half with a few T. of the chicken salad. Close with the top of the roll.

2 C. thinly sliced leeks, white and light green parts only, rinsed and dried

4 C. day-old cooked rice, preferably jasmine, at room temperature

4 large eggs

2 tsp. sesame oil

4 tsp. soy sauce

 

In a large skillet, heat 1/4 C. oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and brown. With a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels and salt lightly. Reduce heat under skillet to medium-low and add 2 T. oil and leeks. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very tender but not browned. Season lightly with salt. Raise heat to medium and add rice. Cook, stirring well, until heated through. Season to taste with salt. In a nonstick skillet, fry eggs in remaining oil, sunny-side-up, until edges are set but yolk is still runny. Divide rice among four dishes. Top each with an egg and drizzle with 1/2 tsp. sesame oil and 1 tsp. soy sauce. Sprinkle crisped garlic and ginger over everything and serve.
