@aisletotokyo: Full Recipe↓ Day 23/100 | YAKITORI 🛒 INGREDIENTS: - Chicken thigh: 250g - Leek: 2~3 - White wine (for marinating): 1 tbsp - Salt and pepper: A little of each [Seasoning] - Soy sauce: 2 tbsp - White wine: 3 tbsp - Sugar: 1 1/2 tbsp 🧑‍🍳 METHOD: 1. Cut the leek into 3cm lengths and the chicken into bite-sized pieces. If the leek is too thick, peel off a few outer layers. 2. Marinate chicken with white wine, salt, and pepper for 5-10 minutes. 3. Mix sauce ingredients in a bowl. 4. Thread chicken and leeks onto 4~5 skewers, pressing meat flat against the board. 5. Pan-fry skewers in oil, covered, over medium heat, then flip and repeat. 6. Cook uncovered to get the chicken browned, and set aside. 7. If too much oil is left on the pan, wipe it. Simmer sauce until thickened, then return skewers to coat. 💡 KEY POINTS: - In this recipe, we're swapping traditional Sake and Mirin for white wine and sugar in a certain conversion formula. As a Japanese home cook, I assure you it works perfectly to replicate the authentic taste. Only one simple rule you need to follow: 👉 Make sure to use a DRY and LOW-ACIDITY WINE (e.g. Pinot Gris). A cheap one is fine, but avoid using fruity wine. ⛩️ TRADITIONAL OPTION: - Substitute leek with Tokyo Negi. - Substitute 1 tbsp white wine (for marinating) with 1 tbsp Sake. - Substitute 3 tbsp white wine with 1 1/2 tbsp Sake and 1 1/2 tbsp Mirin, and reduce sugar from 1 1/2 tbsp to 3/4 tbsp. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Not affiliated with or endorsed by TESCO. #yakitori #JapaneseRecipes #JapaneseCooking #EasyRecipe #Tesco
