    Start by finely dicing 1 small pickled gherkin, 1
    hard-boiled egg and 1 hard-boiled egg and placing them
    in a mixing bowl.

    Add 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise, 1
    tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp tomato ketchup, ΒΌ tsp dried parsley
    and 1 pinch salt and pepper to the bowl.

    Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Transfer the tartar sauce to a sealable container and
    chill in the fridge until its time to serve.

    To make the nanban sauce, take a small bowl and mix 1
    tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp soy sauce and 11/2 tbsp rice vinegar
    together. Set aside for later.

    Cut 300 g boneless chicken thigh(s) into bitesize pieces
    and place them in a bowl. Add 1 pinch salt and pepper
    and 1 tbsp cake flour and mix until the chicken pieces
    are evenly covered.

    Crack 1 medium egg(s) into the bowl and mix until the
    chicken is fully coated in the egg.

    Add the 2 tbsp potato starch and mix until well
    incorporated and lump-free.

    Heat a pan on medium. Once hot, add 2 tbsp cooking oil
    and swirl it around until evenly coated. Add the chicken
    and fry for 3 minutes on each side.

    Once the chicken is cooked through, turn the heat down
    to medium-low, push the chicken to one side and wipe
    away the excess oil with kitchen paper.

    Add the nanban sauce and move the chicken around the pan
    until each piece is fully coated.

    Once the sauce is slightly thickened and glossy, remove
    the pan from the heat.

    Arrange 4-6 lettuce leaves on a serving plate (optional)
    and make a mountain of chicken in the middle.

    Top with a generous amount of tartar sauce and 1 bunch
    chili threads for decoration.
