Finishing Steps
-
Step 0
When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Remove the chicken from the bag and pat dry with paper towels.
-
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken until well-browned on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and cover to keep warm.
-
Step 2
Add the remaining tablespoon vegetable and sesame oil to the skillet and return to medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the panko. Cook, stirring constantly until the panko is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the furikake.
-
Step 3
Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and plate alongside steamed rice. Drizzle remaining ginger-soy sauce over chicken and rice. Top with the bread crumb mixture and chopped scallions, if desired. Finish with a touch of salt, and serve.
