Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Nagaimo (Japanese Mountain Yam) 100g
  • Chicken Breast 250g
  • Potato Starch 2 tbsp

Seasonings

  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Dashi Powder 1 tsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 1 tsp
  • [A] Sesame Oil 1 tsp
  • [A] Grated Ginger 1 tsp

Steps

  1. Peel 100g of Nagaimo and remove fibrous roots. (You can leave the skin on if you prefer).
  2. Cut the nagaimo into 5mm to 1cm cubes.
  3. Remove the skin from the 250g of chicken breast and slice it in half to create two thinner pieces.
  4. Cut the chicken breast into 1cm cubes.
  5. Finely chop the removed chicken skin, then mince it with a knife. (You can omit the chicken skin if you don't like it).
  6. In a bowl, combine the cubed chicken breast and minced chicken skin. Add 1 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), 2 tbsp Potato Starch, 1 tsp Dashi Powder, 1 tsp Soy Sauce, 1 tsp Sesame Oil, and 1 tsp Grated Ginger. Mix well and knead into the chicken.
  7. Add the chopped nagaimo and mix everything together.
  8. Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  9. Once the pan is hot, scoop the mixed ingredients with a spoon and place them onto the pan, forming flat rounds.
  10. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown. (Key Tip!) Be careful not to overcook to maintain the crispiness of the nagaimo.
  11. Flip the patties, cover the pan, and steam-fry over low to medium heat for 2.5 minutes.
  12. Once browned and cooked through, transfer to a plate and serve. Enjoy!
