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
- Cut the chicken breast in half.
- Thinly slice the chicken breast against the grain. [The Secret Here!] Slicing thinly results in tender chicken.
- Lightly season the thinly sliced chicken breast with salt (1/3 tsp) and rub gently.
- 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.
- Heat vegetable oil (as needed) in a frying pan, arrange the potato starch-coated chicken breast, and sear one side.
- 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.
- Remove the chicken breast and drain excess oil.
- 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.
- Heat the mixed seasonings over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- Once the desired thickness is reached, remove from heat.
- Arrange the cooked chicken breast on a plate.
- Generously pour the prepared sauce over the chicken breast.
- Top with a generous amount of grated daikon radish (150g) on the chicken breast.
- Garnish with chopped green onions (for 2-3 stalks) and grated ginger (1 clove portion).
- Scatter bonito flakes (katsuobushi) (as needed) around the edges to complete the dish.
