Ingredients:
- 1 Large Chicken Breast (skinless or remove the skin)
- Fresh Ginger (about an inch)
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tbsp cooking sake
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp Potato Starch (or corn starch)
For Topping
- Around ½ Green onion
- Sesame Oil (just a drizzle)
- Pinch of salt
How to make:
- Start by removing any skin or fatty bits from your chicken breast
- Then cut your chicken into bite size pieces - maybe an inch thick, try to make them all roughly the same size
- Then in a large bowl - grate 1 clove of garlic and the same amount of ginger
- Add in 1tbsp cooking sake and 2 tbsp of soy sauce and mix
- Add the chicken, and let marinate for at least 30 mins
- While your chicken is marinating, make the negishio topping by cutting half a green onion twice down the length of the stalk. This will allow you to finely cut the onion into small pieces
- Add the chopped onion into a bowl with a drizzle of sesame oil and a pinch of salt. You’re done!
- Now your chicken is done marinating - drain any of the excess marinade with a sieve or colander
- Add 2 tbsp of flour and 2 tbsp of potato (or corn) starch and mix well. Make sure to coat all the chicken
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat, add your chicken
- Turn down the heat and cover the pan with a lid, after 2-3 minutes your chicken should turn a nice golden brown.
- Flip the chicken over, and repeat the above process of 2-3 minutes cooking with the lid
- Drain off your chicken with a paper towel and enjoy your healthy and juicy chicken karaage!
