Sake Chicken
A simple dish, especially good for summer dinners. Can be served hot with rice or
cold with salad. More ginger and garlic can be used for a stronger flavor. -TH
1 lb (450g) chicken: skinless, boneless, and cut into two-bite fingers
1 cup (240ml) sake
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Salt and white pepper to taste
Procedures for making
Toasted sesame seeds (throw a handful into a skillet and heat, stirring constantly,
until they smell fragrant and start to pop.)
Mix all ingredients except salt and pepper in a bowl or a sealable plastic bag and
marinate 30-60 minutes. Drain, pat dry, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Either sauté
quickly with a few drops of oil, or thread onto skewers and grill. Serve with a sprinkle of
sesame seeds.
