Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Chicken Breast 250g
- Potato Starch 1.5 tbsp
- Onion 60g
- Tomato 200g
Seasonings
- Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tsp
- Salt 1/4 tsp
- [A] Olive Oil 1 tbsp
- [A] Ponzu Sauce 1.5 tbsp
- [A] Grated Garlic 1 tsp
- [A] Sugar 1/2 tsp
- Coarsely Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
Steps
- Slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise, then thinly slice into 1cm thick pieces. Cut into bite-sized pieces if they are too large.
- Season the sliced chicken breast with 2 tsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) and 1/4 tsp Salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Finely mince 1/4 Onion (60g).
- Make a cross-shaped incision on the opposite end of the stem on the tomato.
- Bring water to a boil in a pot and blanch the incised tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Transfer the blanched tomatoes to cold water and peel them.
- Remove the stem from the peeled tomatoes and cut them into 2-3cm cubes. (Key Tip!) Blanching the tomatoes makes them absorb flavor better and improves their texture.
- Place the cut tomatoes and minced onion in a bowl.
- Add 1 tbsp Olive Oil, 1.5 tbsp Ponzu Sauce, 1 tsp Grated Garlic, and 1/2 tsp Sugar to the same bowl and mix well.
- Chill the mixed dressing in the refrigerator.
- Coat the chicken breast, which has been sitting for 10 minutes, with 1.5 tbsp Potato Starch.
- Add the potato starch-coated chicken breast to boiling water and simmer over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. (Key Tip!) The chicken is cooked when it floats to the surface.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to cold water and let it cool down.
- Drain the cooled chicken thoroughly in a colander.
- Add the drained chicken to the bowl of chilled dressing and mix well.
- If time permits, let it sit in the refrigerator for a while to allow the flavors to meld.
- Plate the dish and sprinkle with Coarsely Ground Black Pepper to your liking.
