(click here for full recipe) Brothers Green Eats! Episode 1 premiers on MTV UK April 28th at 9pm and MTV Australia April 30th at 9pm A visit to our hometown of Philadelphia inspired us to create this pretzel schnitzel sandwich. Soft pretzel bread with Vietnamese-banh-mi-style veggies, chicken schnitzel, and fried eggs sounds weird, but trust us … it’s SO. GOOD. Bun: Water Pizza dough (you can get this in the frozen-food aisle or from your local pizza shop) 1 Tbsp. pretzel salt ⅓ cup baking soda Chicken: Oil for frying 2 chicken thighs 2 eggs 1 cup panko bread crumbs 1 cup all-purpose flour Pinch salt and pepper Pickled Veggies: ½ cup white, apple cider, or rice wine vinegar ¼ cup water ¼ cup sugar Pinch salt 1 dash fish sauce 1 Granny Smith apple 2 carrots Daikon Sauce: ¼ cup hoisin ¼ cup deli mustard ¼ cup chopped cilantro 1 Tbsp. sriracha Other ingredients: Cucumber, sliced lengthwise Cilantro 2 fried eggs Directions: Bun: Preheat oven to 425°. Fill a large, high-sided skillet halfway with water and heat on high until simmering. Add the baking soda. Gently roll the pizza dough into 2 sandwich-size loaf shapes. Add to the simmering water and cook about 20 seconds per side. Remove boiled buns with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Transfer boiled buns to a parchment-lined baking tray. Carefully make small diagonal cuts on the top of the buns with a sharp knife. Sprinkle the tops with pretzel salt and bake for about 25 minutes or until nice and golden brown. Pickled Veggies: Add vinegar, water sugar, salt, and fish sauce to a microwave-safe bowl or a mason jar. Microwave until mixture is hot and sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Peel apple, carrots, and daikon with julienne peeler or cut into thin strips. Add to warm pickling solution and let sit until cool. Chicken: Pound chicken thighs until thin. Whisk two eggs in one bowl. Add panko and flour to another. Dip chicken in panko/flour, then egg, then back in panko/flour. Heat oil in medium sauté pan. Fry chicken until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Assembly: Carefully slice open one cooled pretzel loaf with a serrated knife. Spread sauce on one side of bun. Add crispy chicken, pickled veggies, and cucumber. Top with 2 fried eggs, garnish with cilantro, and enjoy the greatest sandwich of all time!
