Japan

Japan (#25) Yakitori (Skewered Chicken Thighs and Scallions)

I've been exploring Japanese food a lot and with all the things I want to make, I should probably start a separate blog.  Yakitori literally means skewered food, and there are many different yakitori dishes - for example, negima is chicken thighs and scallions, tebasaki is chicken wings and chicken liver is reba.  The chicken pieces and scallions are skewered and broiled for six minutes then brushed with a mixture of soy sauce, sake, mirin, water and brown sugar that has been simmered for about a half hour.  The chicken skewers are cooked for another 5-6 minutes and drizzled with remaining soy sauce mixture before serving.  I served this with sticky rice sprinkled with Japanese sea salt and black sesame seeds.  This recipe is from San Francised based Japanese cook, Nami's website and You Tube channel Just One Cookbook.
