Ingredients
Main Ingredients (1 serving)
- Chicken thigh 1 piece (250-300g)
- Green onion (minced) 2 tbsp
- Ginger (minced) 1 tbsp
- Garlic (minced) 1 tsp
- Lemon (for garnish) to taste
Seasonings
- Salt to taste
- Taihaku Sesame Oil 1 tbsp +
- [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
- [A] Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
- [A] Pepper to taste (strong white pepper recommended)
- [A] Chicken Broth 3 tbsp
- [A] Oyster Sauce 1 tsp
- Sesame Oil 1 tbsp
- Lemon Juice 1 tbsp
- Sansho Pepper Powder to taste
Steps
- Score the chicken thigh (1 piece) and pound it to an even thickness. Season both sides generously with salt.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Place the chicken thigh skin-side down without oil and cook for approximately 3-5 minutes until the meat side is golden brown and puffed up.
- In a small pot, heat 1 tbsp + Taihaku Sesame Oil over low heat. Add 1 tbsp minced ginger and 1 tsp minced garlic and sauté gently to release their fragrance.
- Once fragrant, add 2 tbsp minced green onion and continue to sauté.
- Add 1 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), 2 tbsp Soy Sauce, and pepper to taste. Stir and simmer slightly to reduce.
- Add 3 tbsp Chicken Broth and 1 tsp Oyster Sauce and bring to a boil.
- Flip the chicken in the frying pan and cook skin-side down. As oil seeps out from the skin, wipe it off with a paper towel while cooking until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Stir 1 tbsp Sesame Oil into the sauce in the small pot, mix well, and turn off the heat.
- Once the chicken skin is crispy, reduce the heat to low, cover, and steam for about 3 minutes.
- Remove the lid and return the chicken skin-side down over high heat to finish for crispiness.
- Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Arrange sliced lemon (for garnish) to taste on a plate and place the sliced chicken on top.
- Add 1 tbsp Lemon Juice to the sauce and mix well.
- Pour the sauce over the arranged chicken.
- Generously sprinkle with Sansho Pepper Powder to taste for the final touch and serve.
