Yakitori (Tare and Shio Flavors)
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 30min
Number of servings: 12 sticks
Ingredients:
200g (7oz.) chicken thigh
200g (7oz.) chicken breast
2 white parts of long onion
((Tare - Yakitori sauce))
* 100ml soy sauce
* 100ml Mirin (sweet sake)
* 2 tbsp. sugar
((Shio - salt))
salt and pepper
lemon wedges if you like
Shichimi-togarashi (seven flavor chili pepper) if you like
Yuzukosho (Japanese chili pepper paste) if you like
Directions:
1. To make Tare (Yakitori sauce), place soy sauce, Mirin, and sugar in a pot and bring to a boil. Then turn down to low and simmer for 5 minutes. *You can store the leftover sauce in the fridge for a month and use it for other dishes like Teriyaki.
2. Remove the skin from the chicken if desired. Then cut into small bite-sized pieces. Cut the long onion into 2/3-inch pieces. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper for Shio (salt) flavor.
3. For Tare (sauce) flavor, put long onion and chicken thigh alternately onto bamboo skewers. For Shio (salt) flavor, put seasoned chicken breast onto bamboo skewers.
4. First, cook the Shio (salt) flavor. Heat a thin layer of cooking oil in a frying pan, place Shio (salt) flavored Yakitori, and cook on high until golden brown on both sides. Then cover and cook on low for 3 minutes until done.
5. Next, cook the Tare (sauce) flavor. Heat a thin layer of cooking oil in a frying pan, place Yakitori with long onions, and cook on high until golden brown on both sides. Then drizzle with 3 tbsp. of Tare (Yakitori sauce), cover, and cook on low for 2 minutes. Then cook on high for 1 minute until the sauce thickens.
6. You can enjoy the Shio (salt) flavored Yakitori with lemon wedges, Shichimi-togarashi (seven flavor chili pepper), or Yuzukosho (Japanese chili pepper paste) if you like.
