Prepare the Broccoli Slaw. In a large bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, brown sugar, mayonnaise, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime zest, and sesame seeds. Add the broccoli and carrot. Toss to combine. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray with a nonstick spray. Set aside.
Prepare the Oven-Fried Korean Chicken. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Add the chicken to the egg and water mixture and then toss in the flour mixture to lightly coat the chicken. Place the chicken on the baking sheet and spray with a nonstick spray.
Bake the chicken using the convectional heat function for 15 to 18 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the outside is crisp and brown.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the Sauce for coating (See recipe below).
Once the chicken is baked, transfer immediately to the sauce and toss to coat.
Assemble the tacos. Place a couple of tablespoons of the broccoli slaw on a warmed-through corn or flour tortilla. Place a couple of pieces of the chicken on top. Sprinkle with cottage cheese, fresh cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
