Via Serious Eats:
“The “ABC Pang” ($9.25) is a special sandwich brainchild of ABC Kitchen chef Dan Kluger and the guys behind Num Pang (622 Third Avenue, on 41st between Third and Lexington – 212-867-8889), only available until July 12. The lemongrass-poached chicken salad sandwich comes topped with a spicy cashew butter, Thai basil, that crisp chicken skin, and Num Pang’s usual fixin’s.
‘I knew I needed to work within the confines of Num Pang’s roll, pickled carrots, cucumber, cilantro and chili mayo. But from there, I added pickled radishes and jalapenos, lots of basil and lime, which I might do for a chicken salad at ABC Kitchen or at home,’ said Kluger.
It’s a satisfying combo of creamy, crunchy, salty, tangy, and nutty, all stuffed inside a semolina baguette. The ABC Pang special is part of the “Guest Chefs Give Back” series, so you can feel good knowing that $6 of the $9.25 sandwich goes to Edible Schoolyard NYC and The Double H Ranch.
It’s available at both the Grand Central and Union Square locations of Num Pang.”
