Hi everyone, I'm MASA.
Today, I'd like to introduce you a recipe to make a tasty chicken dish.
It's called
[Japanese] Tori no Karaage Don
Japanese Fried Chicken Donburi
I once introduced Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) in my previous video.
This time, I'd like to teach you
[Cooking Point] How you can make it in a simpler and speedy way.
[Cooking Point] At the same time, you can complete a bowl of delicious donburi.~!(^o^)b
Alright, let's get started.
(Chicken thigh~1 piece)
(Cut into bite-size pieces)
(1/2 tsp of Garlic paste)
(1/2 tsp of Ginger paste)
(1/2 tsp of Ginger paste; 1/2 tsp of Garlic paste)
(2 tbsp of Sake)
(2 tbsp of Soy sauce)
(Pour about 1 tbsp of mixed sauce into chicken bowl)
(A pinch of salt)
(Stir evenly)
(Marinate for about 10 minute)
(Add 2 tbsp of mirin into the sauce)
The marinade this time is a bit different.
[Cooking Point] The classic marinade is a blend of soy sauce, mirin and sake.
But this time, I didn't add any mirin and sugar into the marinade for chicken.
[Cooking Point] Because these sweet seasoning (mirin & sugar) get burnt easily when heating.
That's why I didn't blend in any sweet seasoning.
Instead, I marinate the chicken first (with only soy sauce, sake and some salt) and take them out (to cook).
By doing so, the chance that the meat gets burnt during cooking is relatively low.
[Cooking Point] After that, for making sauce, I'll add mirin (or sugar) into the rest of the marinade, heat it up, cook until the sauce is reduced a bit.
Preparation of shredded cabbage (Cleaned cabbage~3-4 pieces)
(Cut into suitable size for further process)
[Cooking Point] Slice the cabbage across the grain to get better texture.
(Stack up)
[Cooking Point] If you're not very skillful in cutting, stack a low pile (to make it easier to cut).
(Cut into thin shreds)
(Soak the cabbage in cold water)
[Cooking Point] Soaking in water helps to crisp up shredded cabbage.
[Cooking Point] But, to preserve nutrition, don't soak it for too long.
(Place one sheet of wet cloth or wet paper napkin)
(Put it into the refrigerator)
1 tbsp of Bread flour 1 tbsp of Potato starch for chewy texture for crispy texture
(Mix them well)
(Dip the mixed powder evenly)
(Pat to remove excess powder)
(Add oil until it is about 1 cm deep)
(Put to medium low heat)
(Put the chicken into the pan)
[Cooking Point] For safety concerns, please use a tong or a pair of chopsticks to put in the chicken.
(Cook until the underneath part turn light golden color)
(Flip over)
(Put to low heat)
(Keep pan-frying until the underneath part turn golden color)
(Flip over again and keep pan-frying)
(Cook until they turn a bit dark golden color)
(Put on a cooling rack to drip off excess oil)
(Clean the pan)
(Pour in the sauce)
(Put to medium heat)
(Boil the sauce until the thickness you like)
(A bowl of steamed rice)
(Drizzle the sauce onto the rice)
(Decorate with vegetables, eg: lettuce, cabbage, & etc.)
(1 Lemon wedge)
(To simply present a plate of fried chicken is also a good idea!)
Ok, here we finish a bowl of savory Japanese Fried Chicken Donburi.
(Crispy sound of fried chicken)
As you can hear, the tapping sound of the chicken surface is quite crispy.
Fantastic!
Let's dig in.
Let me take out this fried chicken. (Ho ho~)
(Beautiful~)
(Japanese) Dewa, itadakimasu
(Satisfying)
The chicken tastes really crunchy.
And the meat is pretty tender inside.
Also, the seasoning and combination is just right.
The chicken is well-seasoned
going with the steamed rice at the bottom which is drizzled with sauce.
[Cooking Point] The sauce-chicken-vegetalbe balance is pretty nice.
This time, I present the dish in a donburi way.
[Cooking Point] But if you place the fried chicken directly onto a plate to serve, it is also suitable.
Alright, let's go.
(Japanese) Dewa mo ikai ikimasu (So, let me taste it again.)
(Forgot to drizzle lemon juice (laugh))
You can drizzle lemon juice on either the donburi or the fried chicken
to add a layer of freshness to the dish.
(Japanese) Dewa mo ikai itadakimasu. (So, let me taste it again.)
It must go with beers~~~
Karaage (Fried chicken) and beer are an invincible combination.
Of course, children will also like this recipe.
This flavor is likable by the whole family. (Fried chicken number 1!! o(≧▽≦)b)
Alright, the recipe this time is really easy.
By using a small-size pan, pouring a small amount of oil
and pan-frying the meat, you can make fried chicken with crunchy texture.
So if you are interested in it,
please give it a try.
Thank you.
