Karaage made without deep-frying, using an air fry oven toaster and a minimal amount of oil. The marinade is just ginger and soy sauce to keep moisture low, and coating the pieces in potato starch while wrapping them in the skin gives a light, crispy texture. Serve with a savory scallion sauce based on mirin, vinegar, and soy sauce. Potatoes can be cooked at the same time.
