Steps

  1. Remove the skin from one piece of chicken breast and pierce it several times with the pointed end of a utensil.
  2. Place the chicken breast in a heat-resistant cooking bag.
  3. Add 1 tbsp + 1/3 tbsp Shio Koji to the bag and knead it into the chicken.
  4. Remove the air from the bag, seal it, and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  5. Bring water to a boil, add the chicken breast, and simmer on low heat for 2 minutes.
  6. Flip the chicken breast and cook for another 2 minutes.
  7. Turn off the heat, cover with a lid, and let it sit for 30 minutes.
  8. After cooking, soak in cold water for 30 minutes to cool down, then remove the chicken breast.
  9. Lightly scrape off the Shio Koji from the chicken breast and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
  10. Peel and remove any sprouts from 2 potatoes (200g after peeling), and cut them into about 8 pieces so they cook evenly.
  11. Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe container, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave at 600W for 5 minutes and 30 seconds.
  12. Add 10g of butter to the microwaved potatoes and mash them with a fork while they are hot, incorporating the butter.
  13. Add 20g of potato starch to the mashed potatoes and mix until evenly combined.
  14. Divide the dough into 5 portions, roll them into balls with your palms, flatten them slightly, and shape them into flat rounds.
  15. Heat about 1cm of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the shaped rice cakes and pan-fry.
  16. Fry for about 2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip them over.
  17. Remove from the pan once they are golden brown all over.
  18. In the frying pan, combine 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, 2 tbsp sugar, 1.5 tsp potato starch, and 5 tbsp water.
  19. Stir while heating over the stove until the sauce thickens.
  20. Once thickened, add the fried rice cakes and coat them evenly with the sauce.
  21. Transfer to a plate once the sauce has coated everything.
  22. In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp vinegar, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp chili oil, and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds.
  23. Pour the prepared Chinese dressing over the cut chicken ham.
