Cole Slaw As Made By Chef Kuniko Yagi
Chef Kuniko Yagi of Pikunico, a Japanese fried chicken restaurant in Los Angeles, shares this perfect complement to her Golden Chicken Sandwich. We want to put her sesame dressing on just about everything, so you’ll be glad to have some left over. If you can’t find sesame paste, you can swap it out for tahini.
