A budget-friendly appetizer using tender chicken breast and seasonal zucchini. The rich and mellow golden ratio ketchup-mayo sauce coats everything, making it a dish that pairs perfectly with both rice and drinks. Even chicken breast, which tends to be dry, turns out surprisingly juicy with the right preparation and cooking method.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Chicken Breast 1 piece (300g)
  • Zucchini 1 piece (200g)
  • Potato Starch 2 tbsp
  • All-Purpose Flour 1 tbsp

Seasonings

  • [A] Mayonnaise 2 tbsp
  • [A] Ketchup 2.5 tbsp
  • [A] Worcestershire Sauce 0.5 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tsp
  • [A] Grated Garlic 1 tsp
  • Salt 0.25 tsp
  • Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Vegetable Oil (for frying)
  • Dried Parsley (for garnish)

Steps

  1. Slice Chicken Breast (1 piece, 300g) in half lengthwise and cut into approximately 1cm thick pieces.
  2. Add Salt (0.25 tsp) and Cooking Sake (1 tbsp) to the cut chicken, rub by hand, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Cut off both ends of Zucchini (1 piece, 200g) and slice into approximately 1cm thick rounds.
  4. In a bowl, mix Mayonnaise (2 tbsp), Ketchup (2.5 tbsp), Worcestershire Sauce (0.5 tbsp), Sugar (1 tsp), and Grated Garlic (1 tsp) to make the sauce. *Tip:* If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, you can use medium-thick sauce with 0.5 tsp sugar, or okonomiyaki sauce with 0.5 tbsp and no sugar.
  5. Add Potato Starch (2 tbsp) to the chicken that has been marinating for 10 minutes and coat evenly.
  6. Heat Vegetable Oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  7. Arrange the potato starch-coated chicken pieces in the frying pan and cook.
  8. Once the bottom of the chicken is browned and the edges change color, flip them over.
  9. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and steam for 2 minutes.
  10. Once both sides of the chicken are browned and cooked through, remove from the frying pan.
  11. Place the sliced zucchini in a plastic bag, add All-Purpose Flour (1 tbsp), shake well to coat evenly. *Tip:* Zucchini has a lot of moisture, and using flour helps prevent it from becoming sticky when coated with the sauce, resulting in a beautiful finish.
  12. If there's not enough Vegetable Oil in the same frying pan, add more and arrange the flour-coated zucchini to cook.
  13. Once both sides of the zucchini are nicely browned, turn off the heat once.
  14. Return the cooked chicken to the frying pan, create space on the side of the pan, and add the prepared sauce.
  15. While heating over medium-low heat, reduce the sauce and coat everything evenly.
  16. Finally, sprinkle with Salt and Pepper to taste and turn off the heat.
  17. Once the sauce is evenly coated, transfer to a serving dish.
  18. Sprinkle with dried parsley for color.
