Introduction
This is a simple, budget-friendly recipe for sweet and spicy sesame chicken using chicken breast. The secret trick of marinating the meat in mayonnaise and sake keeps the chicken breast moist and tender, preventing it from drying out. The savory sweet and spicy sauce combined with the aroma of sesame makes this a perfect dish to pair with rice.
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast in half, then slice into 1cm to 1.5cm wide strips (diagonal slices) against the grain. Cut any wide pieces in half vertically.
Step 2
Place the chicken in a plastic bag, add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of grated garlic, and 1 tablespoon of sake, then massage well from the outside. Squeeze out the air, seal the bag, and let it marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, gently add the 2 eggs (taken out of the fridge about 10 minutes prior), and boil over medium heat for 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of mirin, 2 tablespoons of sake, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix well to create the sauce.
Step 5
Cut the chili pepper in half to remove the seeds, then chop into small rings using kitchen shears or a knife.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Cutting the chicken breast against the grain helps ensure the meat remains tender even after cooking. ✨
The fat in the mayonnaise coats the meat, and the water-retaining properties of the sake result in a surprisingly moist and tender finish. 💡
Quickly cooling the boiled eggs in ice water causes the inside to contract, making the shells very easy to peel. ⚠️
If you prefer a milder flavor or are cooking for small children, please omit the chili pepper. If you don't like garlic, grated ginger can be used as a substitute. 👥
