Ingredients:
1lb Chicken meat (I prefer chicken legs/thighs)
250ml Dashi (1 cup)
1Tbsp Sugar
2 Tbsp Sake
4 Tbsp Mirin
4 Tbsp Soy sauce
Some green onions
A little bit of Wasabi
- Pat chicken meat lightly with corn starch. Discard any excess starch.
- Finely chop green onions.
- Combine dashi, sugar, sake, mirin and soy sauce in a pot and bring to boil. Add chicken, and cook for about 5 - 6 min. Turn the meat occasionally.
- Remove from heat. Add chopped green onions and wasabi on top.
Note:
- Mirin is a sweet cooking wine. Usually, it consists of 40-50% of sugar. It is a kind of rice wine similar to sake but with a lower alcohol content, which is 14% instead of 20%.
- Dashi ( だし) is a Japanese basic stock. Many of Japanese recipes call for dashi, such as miso soup, noodle broth and simmered dishes. Dashi gives Japanese dishes their authentic flavor.
- The aroma of this dish is so strong that It makes my house smell like a Japanese restaurant.
