Japanese Meat Recipes
A traditional Japanese recipe is Yakitori chicken.
This is a Japanese style kebab that is great for barbecues or for parties.
If you do not want to use chicken it is possible to use other meat,such as turkey,instead.
It is also possible to use all different parts of the bird, such as skin, liver etc, when making yakitori.
To Serve 8 You Will Need:
2 bunches of spring onions and 12 boneless chicken thighs.To Make the Accompanying Yakitori Sauce You Will Need
- 1 1/3 cup of soy sauce
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoon of plain flour
- 2 tablespoons of dry white wine or sake
To do this first take the sake(or wine), sugar and soy sauce and, using a medium size saucepan, mix well with the flour and bring the ingredients to the boil as you continue to stir them. Once boiling point has been reached, reduce the temperature and simmer the mixture in the saucepan for approximately 15 minutes.
Ideal For Barbecues and Parties
After this time the mixture should have reduced by around a third. Once this has happened, place the mixture to one side. Next take the chicken thighs and cut them into bite size pieces before setting aside.Now it is the turn of the spring onions. These should be sliced into pieces that measure approximately 5 cm. You next need to light the barbecue or grill. Remove the skewers from the water and place the chicken and onions on them alternately.
Now you are ready to place them on the barbecue or, on a medium heat, place them under the grill. Ensure that you coat the chicken well with yakitori sauce. Cooking time should take approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
