Tahini Chicken Lettuce Cups

Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce:
1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce:

Fill a small pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the snow peas crosswise. Peel and finely chop the ginger. Cut off and discard the root ends of the lettuce; separate the leaves. Peel the carrots, then grate on the large side of a box grater. In a bowl, combine the grated carrots, half the vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. In a separate bowl, combine the soy glaze, tahini, remaining vinegar, and 2 teaspoons of water. 

2 Cook the rice:

While the carrots marinate, add the rice to the pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, 16 to 18 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.

3 Cook the chicken:

Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and enough of the togarashi to coat (you may have extra). In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board. 

* An instant-read thermometer should register 165°F.

4 Cook the peas:

To the pan of reserved fond, add the halved peas and chopped ginger (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil). Season with salt and pepper; cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a large bowl.
