Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)

  • Chicken breast 5 pieces (300g)
  • Potato Starch 2 tbsp
  • Bell peppers 5 pieces (150g)

Seasonings

  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Salt 1/4 tsp
  • [B] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [B] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [B] Sugar 1 tbsp
  • [B] Dashi Powder 1 tsp
  • [C] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
  • [D] Grated Wasabi approx. 2 tsp
  • Olive Oil 1 tbsp

Steps

  1. Prepare the chicken breast: Slice 5 chicken breasts (300g) into 1cm thick pieces.
  2. Gently massage 1 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) and 1/4 tsp Salt into the sliced chicken breast and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  3. In a heatproof container, combine 2 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 2 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), 1 tbsp Sugar, and 1 tsp Dashi Powder. Mix well.
  4. Microwave the seasoning mixture in the container for 1 minute at 600W until dissolved. Stir to combine.
  5. Add 1 tbsp Soy Sauce to the microwaved seasoning and mix well.
  6. Prepare the bell peppers: Cut 5 bell peppers (150g) in half lengthwise, remove stems, seeds, and pith.
  7. Finely slice the bell peppers horizontally after removing stems, seeds, and pith. [Key Tip!] Slicing the bell peppers against the grain makes them absorb the flavor better.
  8. Heat 1 tbsp Olive Oil in a frying pan over medium heat and coat the pan with the oil. Add the thinly sliced bell peppers.
  9. Cover the frying pan and steam-fry over medium heat for 2 minutes.
  10. Add the steamed bell peppers to the marinade mixture prepared in step 5, and mix thoroughly to marinate.
  11. If the frying pan has too little oil after cooking the bell peppers, add more olive oil to adjust.
  12. Coat the chicken breast with 2 tbsp Potato Starch and arrange them in the frying pan. [Key Tip!] Coating the chicken with seasoning and potato starch before grilling makes it moist and tender.
  13. Once the bottom of the chicken breast is browned and the edges turn white, flip them over.
  14. Cover and steam-fry over low-medium heat for 2 minutes.
  15. Transfer the steam-fried chicken breast to the container with the marinated bell peppers.
  16. Add approx. 2 tsp Grated Wasabi to the container. Dissolve it with the sauce in a corner of the container to avoid clumps. [Key Tip!] Wasabi's flavor can be diminished by heat, so adding it at the end preserves its aroma and taste.
  17. Mix everything well and let it sit for the flavors to meld.
  18. It's also delicious served chilled after cooling down and refrigerating.
  19. For best results, consume within 3-5 days when storing as leftovers.
