Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)

  • Takana pickles (minced) 100g
  • Chicken thigh (boneless) 1 piece
  • Potatoes (Maris Piper) 2 large
  • Green onion 1/3 stalk
  • Ginger 15g
  • Garlic 1 clove
  • Vegetable oil 1 tbsp

Seasonings

  • Salt a pinch
  • Pepper a pinch
  • Shichimi Togarashi (Japanese seven-spice blend) a pinch
  • [A] Water 200cc

  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tbsp

Steps

  1. Peel and cut 2 large potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Briefly rinse the cut potatoes and drain them. [Key Tip!] Rinsing potatoes for too long will wash away the starch, resulting in a loss of fluffiness, so only rinse them briefly.
  3. Finely chop 1/3 stalk of green onion, 15g of ginger, and 1 clove of garlic separately.
  4. Trim the tendons, excess skin, and fat from 1 chicken thigh and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Season the cut chicken with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper and rub to marinate.
  6. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  7. Place the chicken in the heated pan, skin-side down, and sauté until browned.
  8. Add the chopped green onion, ginger, and garlic to the sautéed chicken and cook until fragrant.
  9. Add the potatoes and stir-fry until coated with oil.
  10. Add 100g of minced Takana pickles and toss to coat everything.
  11. Add 200cc of water, 100cc of cooking sake, and 2 tbsp of mirin, and bring to a boil.
  12. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes. [Key Tip!] Simmer until the potatoes are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
  13. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with a pinch of Shichimi Togarashi, if desired.
