Savor our classic chicken yakitori paired with fresh cabbage salad for a delicious and easy dish.
Ingredients:
  • 60ml sake
  • 60ml soy sauce
  • 40.00 ml mirin (rice wine)
  • 40.00 gm caster sugar
  • 2 tsp finely grated ginger
  • 8 (about 800g) chicken thigh fillets, cut into 2cm pieces
  • Ground white pepper
  • 1 bunch baby leeks or green onions, washed, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces
  • Steamed koshihikari rice (see note), to serve
  • 1/2 baby wombok (Chinese cabbage), finely shredded
  • 1 carrot, peeled, cut into matchsticks
  • 9.00 gm toasted sesame seeds
  • 3.00 gm sesame paste
  • 2 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 10.60 gm soy sauce
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, blend sake, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and ginger. Heat over medium until simmering. Stir occasionally and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Take off the heat and let it cool a bit.
  • Mix the chicken with half of the sake mixture in a bowl and season with ground white pepper. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  • Prepare the salad by mixing wombok, carrot, and sesame seeds in a bowl. In a separate container, whisk together sesame paste, vinegar, and soy sauce, then pour over the salad. Lightly toss everything together until well combined.
  • Skewer the chicken and leek pieces in an alternating pattern.
  • Preheat the grill to high heat. Arrange the chicken skewers on a baking tray. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
  • Plate the salad and garnish with skewers, extra sauce, and steamed rice on the side, if desired.
