Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Chicken Breast: 1 pc
  • Potato Starch: as needed (for coating)
  • Grated Daikon Radish: 150g
  • Chopped Green Onions: for 2-3 stalks
  • Grated Ginger: 1 clove portion
  • Bonito Flakes (Katsuobushi): as needed

Seasonings

  • Salt: 1/3 tsp
  • Vegetable Oil: as needed
  • [A] Potato Starch: 1 tsp (for sauce)
  • [A] Mentsuyu (Noodle Soup Base, 2x concentrate): 60ml
  • [A] Water: 80-100ml

Steps

  1. Cut the chicken breast in half.
  2. Thinly slice the chicken breast against the grain. [The Secret Here!] Slicing thinly results in tender chicken.
  3. Lightly season the thinly sliced chicken breast with salt (1/3 tsp) and rub gently.
  4. Lightly coat the surface of the chicken breast with potato starch (as needed), shaking off any excess. [The Secret Here!] Potato starch helps the sauce cling better.
  5. Heat vegetable oil (as needed) in a frying pan, arrange the potato starch-coated chicken breast, and sear one side.
  6. Flip and cook until golden brown on both sides. Be careful not to overcook. [The Secret Here!] Don't aim for deep frying, just a quick sear for tenderness.
  7. Remove the chicken breast and drain excess oil.
  8. In a pot, combine [A] potato starch (1 tsp), [A] mentsuyu (2x concentrate) (60ml), and [A] water (80-100ml). Mix well until the potato starch is dissolved. [The Secret Here!] By mixing everything from the start instead of using a slurry, you can make it easily.
  9. Heat the mixed seasonings over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  10. Once the desired thickness is reached, remove from heat.
  11. Arrange the cooked chicken breast on a plate.
  12. Generously pour the prepared sauce over the chicken breast.
  13. Top with a generous amount of grated daikon radish (150g) on the chicken breast.
  14. Garnish with chopped green onions (for 2-3 stalks) and grated ginger (1 clove portion).
  15. Scatter bonito flakes (katsuobushi) (as needed) around the edges to complete the dish.
