Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Chicken Breast 350g
  • Green Onion 80g
  • Potato Starch 4 tsp

Seasonings

  • [A] Salt 1/2 tsp
  • [A] MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) 8 dashes
  • [A] Oyster Sauce 1 tsp
  • [A] Lemon Juice 1 tsp
  • [A] Sesame Oil 1 1/2 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1/2 tsp
  • [A] Black Pepper to taste
  • [B] Salt and Pepper to taste
  • [B] Sake 1 tbsp
  • Extra Lemon (for flavor change)

Steps

  1. Cut the green onion accordion-style, then mince it. Use the green part as well.
  2. Place the minced green onion into an airtight container.
  3. To the container, add salt 1/2 tsp, sugar 1/2 tsp, oyster sauce 1 tsp, lemon juice 1 tsp, MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) 8 dashes, sesame oil 1 1/2 tbsp, and black pepper to taste, then mix well to create the green onion sauce. [Chef's Tip!] Making the green onion sauce first and allowing it to meld removes the pungency of the green onions, making it more delicious.
  4. Chill the prepared green onion sauce in the refrigerator.
  5. Cut the chicken breast in half from the middle, then slice it thinly against the grain. Remove the skin if you're concerned about it.
  6. Place the sliced chicken breast into a bag, add salt and pepper to taste, potato starch 4 tsp, and sake 1 tbsp, then massage well. [Chef's Tip!] The potato starch and sake enhance the chicken's moisture retention, resulting in a moist and tender finish.
  7. Boil water in a pot.
  8. Add the massaged chicken breast into the boiling water, one piece at a time. [Chef's Tip!] Adding chicken one piece at a time prevents it from clumping together. Boiling it for too long will make it tough, so boil for about 1 minute, then let it cook through with residual heat to ensure a moist finish.
  9. After boiling for 1 minute, transfer the chicken breast to a colander and drain well.
  10. Add the boiled chicken breast to the chilled green onion sauce and mix well to coat everything.
  11. Serve as is, or chill in the refrigerator before serving. Drizzle with extra lemon if desired. [Chef's Tip!] The sauce has a strong punch, so simply coating the chicken is delicious enough. It can be enjoyed either chilled or warm.
