---------------------------------

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.

Unadon?!

---------------------------------

MOCK Eel Rice Bowl / Unadon

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 30min
Number of servings: 1

Ingredients:
2 eggplants
eel sauce
* 1 tbsp. soy sauce
* 1 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake)
* 1 tbsp. sugar
* 1 tsp. Sake
1 bowl of rice
Kizaminori (finely shredded Nori seaweed sheet)
Sansho Japanese pepper if you like

Directions:
1. Make a few holes in the eggplants so that they won't explode. Make an incision around the stem end.
2. Place them directly on a stove on a baking rack if you have (or in a frying pan, grill, oven, or toaster oven), then roast until the skins get wrinkly and tender inside. You can also wrap in plastic wrap and microwave at 600w for 2 minutes.
3. Cool until you can handle them, then remove the skins. Make an incision lengthwise and open.
4. Heat the eel sauce in a frying pan until it begins to bubble. Place the eggplants and cook until the liquid is gone.
5. Serve cooked rice in a rice bowl, layer some Kizaminori (finely shredded Nori seaweed sheet), place the eggplants, then sprinkle with Sansho Japanese pepper if you like.
