This is a budget-friendly appetizer made with thinly sliced chicken breast and daikon radish, finished in a sweet and savory kinpira style. The chicken breast, coated in potato starch, is moist and tender, making it irresistibly delicious and perfect with rice. It's also great for bento boxes and meal prep.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Daikon Radish 300g
  • Chicken Breast 200g
  • Potato Starch 1.5 tbsp
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds 1 tbsp
  • Chopped Green Onion (to taste)

Seasonings

  • Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tsp
  • Salt 1/4 tsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 1.5 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1.5 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 2 tsp
  • [A] Sesame Oil 2 tsp
  • [A] Dashi Powder 1 tsp
  • Ichimi Togarashi (Chili Powder) (to taste)

Steps

  1. Thinly slice 200g of chicken breast into 5mm to 1cm thick strips.
  2. Marinate the chicken breast with 2 tsp of cooking sake and 1/4 tsp of salt. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Thinly slice 300g of daikon radish into 3-5mm thick strips. (Tip: It's delicious even with the skin on, but you can peel it if you prefer.)
  4. In a bowl, mix together 1.5 tbsp of soy sauce, 1.5 tbsp of mirin, 2 tsp of sugar, 2 tsp of sesame oil, and 1 tsp of dashi powder.
  5. Coat the chicken breast, which has been resting for 10 minutes, with 1.5 tbsp of potato starch. (Tip: Coating with potato starch makes it moist and tender.)
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spread the chicken breast in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan.
  7. Add the daikon radish to the same frying pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the moisture has evaporated and the daikon is tender. (Tip: Since it's thinly sliced, it cooks quickly. Ensure the moisture is thoroughly evaporated to prevent the flavor from becoming diluted.)
  8. Return the chicken breast to the frying pan and stir-fry with the daikon radish.
  9. Pour the combined sauce mixture into the frying pan. Stir-fry over medium-high to high heat, evaporating the moisture until it becomes glossy.
  10. Add 1 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds and adjust ichimi togarashi to your preference. Mix well. (Tip: The richness of the sesame oil and the spiciness of the chili powder add a great accent.)
  11. Transfer to a serving dish.
  12. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and serve. (Tip: Because the moisture has been evaporated, it won't become mushy even when cold, making it ideal for bento boxes and meal prep.)
