Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Chicken Breast 1 pc (350g)
- Perilla Leaves 10-12 leaves
- Potato Starch (for dusting)
- Vegetable Oil (for frying)
Seasonings
- [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
- [A] Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
- [A] Sugar 2 tsp
Steps
- Remove the skin from 1 chicken breast (350g) and slice thinly to about 5mm thickness.
- Pound the thinly sliced chicken breast with a rolling pin or similar until it expands slightly. (Key Tip!) Pounding makes the chicken breast moist and tender without any seasoning.
- Trim the stems from the perilla leaves and cut them in half vertically.
- Place the perilla leaves, cut side down, on top of the thinly sliced chicken breast and roll. (Key Tip!) If the chicken pieces are small, fold the perilla leaves in half before rolling.
- Lightly dust the surface of the rolled chicken with potato starch.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the pan and oil are hot, place the rolled chicken pieces seam-side down.
- Once the seam is sealed and secured, flip the chicken.
- Cover with a lid and steam over low to medium heat for 2 minutes to cook the chicken through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add 2 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 2 tbsp Soy Sauce, and 2 tsp Sugar. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- Once the seasoning has coated the chicken, it is ready. Transfer to a serving plate.
