Hello everyone, I'm MASA
We Japanese love to eat Chinese cuisines
Chinese dishes often seen in
regular households should be
mapo tofu,
stir-fried pork shreds with green pepper
Twice-Cooked Pork Slices
Internet research shows that
there is one more Chinese dish
which is popular as well!
It’s called (JP) yo da re do ri
The first time I learnt
the name of this dish
I found it quite awkward
It turns out that the name is translated
literally from its name in Chinese
which is “saliva chicken”!
Although I’m not a fan of spicy food
the pungency of this dish
is acceptable to my palate
And I like the flavor of
Hoajiao (Sichuan pepper )
What I’m going to demonstrate today
is not the classic recipe
I fine-tune the recipe (in my own style)
by using some Japanese seasonings
and udon to make a very refreshing dish
The recipe is very simple!
Ok, let's get started~! (๑>◡<)و
[Tip] Remember to save the chicken
essence during the steaming process!
[Tip] The udon is flash-frozen
after they’re cooked
[Tip] so simply reheat it until each
noodle strand is separated
Ok, here is a plate of mouthwatering
(JP) Masa riu yo da re dori hi ya si udon
Cold Chicken Udon with Chili Sauce
Ok, now we may dig in
Let me try this chicken thigh slice first
It looks pretty tasty
(JP) Dewa Itadakimasu
The chicken absorbs the flavor very well
In the beginning, we marinate the chicken
with sake and salt
We marinate it, steam it,
et it sit a bit and then put it in cold water
This process helps seal the flavor inside meat
So now, take a bite and you can feel
the juice flow out of meat
and you can taste the fragrance
of sake at the same time
The sauce drizzled on the top
makes this dish taste even better
Next up, let me try this udon
The color looks pretty red
Wondering if it will be very spicy...?
(Blow on COLD udon?)
I just blew on cold udon unnecessarily
since it’s a habit when eating hot noodles
But today, we’re making cold udon
This is super tasty
It can be a dish from a restaurant menu
I don’t know whether there is also a dish
like this in a Chinese restaurant
which combines chicken and cold noodles
The chicken seasoned in
this manner has a heavy taste
o it goes very well with
steamed rice and noodles
For today’s recipe, I used chicken
In fact, I think you can use
other types of white meat
such as pork to replicate the same dish
Using the same method to
steam the whole piece of pork
and then cut it into slices
Or you can use the thin sliced pork
which we usually put in hot pot
As for udon, you may replace it by
using the type of noodle you’re used to
such as regular dried noodles
It’s getting hot out there
if you’d like to enjoy cool dishes
you must give it a try~!
