Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Myoga ginger 2 pcs
  • Shiso leaves 5 pcs

Seasonings

  • Salt 1/4 tsp
  • Sugar 1 tsp
  • Coarsely ground black pepper about 5 shakes
  • Olive oil 8 tbsp
  • [For Garnish] Salt to taste
  • [For Garnish] Coarsely ground black pepper to taste
  • [For Garnish] Toasted sesame seeds to taste

Steps

  1. Slice 1 chicken breast (350g) in half lengthwise and then into 1 to 1.5cm thick strips. Remove skin if you dislike it. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Place the sliced chicken into a cooking bag.
  3. Add 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, and about 5 shakes of coarsely ground black pepper to the bag. Close the bag and massage the chicken thoroughly.
  4. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  5. After 30 minutes, add 8 tbsp olive oil to the bag.
  6. Close the bag and mix everything well.
  7. Slightly open the bag to expel all the air, then seal it tightly.
  8. Fill the rice cooker pot with hot water up to the 2.5 go line. Add more water to reach the 3 go line to achieve a temperature of 70-80°C (158-176°F).
  9. Place the cooking bag into the rice cooker. Close the lid and set for 1 hour on the keep-warm setting.
  10. After 30 minutes, open the lid once and stir the chicken inside the bag to ensure even cooking.
  11. After 1 hour of cooking, remove the bag and immerse it in an ice bath to cool down for about 30 minutes until it reaches room temperature.
  12. Remove the chicken from the bag and transfer it to a storage container.
  13. Thinly slice 2 myoga ginger into rounds. If you find the bitterness bothersome, soak them in water for about 10 minutes.
  14. Remove the stems from 5 shiso leaves, cut them in half lengthwise, then julienne.
  15. Place the sliced myoga ginger and julienned shiso leaves on top of the chicken in the storage container.
  16. Lightly sprinkle with salt, and scatter with coarsely ground black pepper and toasted sesame seeds.
  17. Mix everything well.
