Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Chicken breast 350g (1 piece)
  • Perilla leaves 10 sheets
  • Shimeji mushrooms 100g (1/2 bunch)
  • Green onions 50g (1/2 stalk)

Seasonings

  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
  • [A] Grated Garlic 1 tsp
  • [A] Salt 1/4 tsp
  • [A] Potato Starch 2 tbsp
  • [B] Milk 200ml
  • [B] Dashi Powder 1/2 tsp
  • [B] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [B] Miso 2 tsp

Steps

  1. Remove the skin from 350g chicken breast. Butterfly it, cut into about 1cm cubes, and then mince with a knife.
  2. In a bowl, combine the minced 350g chicken breast, 1 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), 1 tbsp Mayonnaise, 1 tsp Grated Garlic, and 1/4 tsp Salt. Mix well and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Trim the stems from 100g shimeji mushrooms and separate them.
  4. Thinly slice 50g green onions diagonally.
  5. Trim the stems from 10 sheets of perilla leaves, finely chop them, and add to the chicken bowl.
  6. Add 2 tbsp Potato Starch to the chicken bowl and knead until sticky.
  7. Shape the chicken mixture into meatballs with your hands and place them on a tray. Dust the tray with potato starch.
  8. Coat the meatballs with potato starch and shape them into rounds.
  9. Heat Vegetable Oil in a frying pan.
  10. Arrange the meatballs in the frying pan and roll them with chopsticks for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides. [The Secret!] Coating them with potato starch before frying ensures they are moist and tender, and also helps thicken the sauce.
  11. Once the meatballs are browned, add the separated shimeji mushrooms and diagonally sliced green onions. Stir-fry briefly.
  12. Add 200ml Milk, 1/2 tsp Dashi Powder, 2 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), and 2 tsp Miso. Stir and bring to a boil.
  13. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 3 minutes until the shimeji mushrooms and green onions are cooked through.
  14. The dish is complete when the cream sauce has a slight thickness.
