A refreshing simmered chicken and konjac dish, perfect with Ryuji's sake 'Sakakuzu'. Simmering with vinegar allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the chicken and konjac, making it a perfect dish for both rice and drinks. Healthy yet packed with umami, this timeless flavor is a must-try.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Chicken Thigh 300g
  • Konjac 250g
  • Ginger 10g

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy Sauce 2½ tbsp
  • [A] Sake 3 tbsp
  • [A] Vinegar 2 tbsp
  • [A] Aji-no-moto (MSG) 6 shakes
  • [A] Bonito Flakes 1g

Steps

  1. Julienne 10g ginger.
  2. Cut 300g chicken thigh in half, then slice thinly against the grain.
  3. Tear 250g konjac with a spoon into pieces similar in size to the chicken. [Tip!] Tearing with a spoon creates an uneven surface, allowing the flavors to penetrate more easily.
  4. Add the chicken, konjac, and ginger to a frying pan.
  5. Add 2½ tbsp soy sauce, 3 tbsp sake, 2 tbsp vinegar, 6 shakes Aji-no-moto (MSG), and 1g bonito flakes, then bring to a boil.
  6. Once it boils, cover with a lid and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes. Reduce until most of the liquid is gone.
  7. If there's still liquid remaining, remove the lid and continue to reduce. [Tip!] Since no sugar is used and it's finished refreshingly with sake and vinegar, the reduction level is key to the flavor.
  8. Plate and serve.
