Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Green Onion 1 (120g)
  • Chicken Thigh 300g
  • Salad Oil to taste

Seasonings

  • Ajishio (Seasoned Salt) to taste
  • [A] Soy Sauce 1.5 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tsp
  • [A] Sake 1 tsp
  • [A] MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) 3 dashes
  • Mayonnaise to taste
  • Shichimi Togarashi to taste

Steps

  1. Cut 1 Green Onion (120g) into 3-4cm lengths. 【Tip!】 Check the root thoroughly for sand and wash it clean before cutting.
  2. First, cut 300g Chicken Thigh in half, then into bite-sized pieces. 【Tip!】 It's recommended to cook with the sinews and skin as they are also delicious.
  3. Heat Salad Oil to taste in a frying pan.
  4. Sprinkle Ajishio (Seasoned Salt) to taste on the cut chicken.
  5. Place the chicken in the frying pan, skin-side down, and put the cut green onions in the empty spaces. 【Tip!】 Thoroughly grill the skin side until browned to remove any rubbery texture and achieve a delicious finish.
  6. Arrange the green onions against the sides of the pan and char them well. 【Tip!】 A good char is essential for flavor, so grill slowly over high heat. Let the green onions absorb the oil rendered from the chicken.
  7. Grill both sides of the chicken and green onions slowly until well browned.
  8. Once everything is browned, add 1.5 tbsp Soy Sauce, 1 tbsp Sugar, 1 tsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 1 tsp Sake, and 3 dashes MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) to the frying pan.
  9. Simmer the sauce to reduce the moisture until it thickens enough to coat everything, then turn off the heat. 【Tip!】 Reducing the sauce will create a flavor similar to yakitori sauce.
  10. Serve on a plate.
  11. Finish by drizzling with Mayonnaise to taste and sprinkling with Shichimi Togarashi to taste.
