Chicken Nanban-zuke

‘Nanban-zuke’ is a Japanese dish of marinated fried fish. I usually use fish called ‘Aji’ but other meaty fish are also suitable. Chicken Breast is a popular alternative. It’s much easier to prepare than it looks.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Place all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. As Mirin is alcoholic, you can replace it with Sugar. In that case, you use 3 tablespoons Sugar in total.

* Step 2

Add all the vegetables and mix to combine.

* Step 3

Cut Chicken Breast Fillets into 2cm thick slices, season with Salt & Pepper, then coat with Potato Starch Flour.

* Step 4

Heat Oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. It doesn’t have to be deep.

* Step 5

Cook Chicken pieces for 2 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, OR until cooked through. Transfer to the marinade & vegetable mixture.

* Step 6

Mix to combine, so that all Chicken pieces will be marinated evenly. Set aside for 1 hour at least.

* Step 7

Note: You can do the marinating process using a serving bowl, so that you can serve straight away. Otherwise, arrange the mixture on a serving plate or bowl, and enjoy with freshly cooked rice.
