Fragrant Chicken with Salted Lemons and Tasty Ponzu
While dieting, it's hard to get full on oil-free dishes...but adding different flavours and aromas with my homemade salted lemons and ponzu made this dish very satisfying! Strong flavors are very handy when you're on a diet.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Remove the excess fat from the chicken. You can use chicken thighs as is. If you use chicken breasts, cut them in half horizontally to make 2 pieces or else they will be too thick.
* Step 2
Coat the chicken in shio-koji.
* Step 3
I used homemade dried mushrooms. Soak them in water to rehydrate.
* Step 4
Save the soaking liquid for soup or stew since it is full of nutrients and flavours.
* Step 5
Remove the tough fibers from the celery and cut diagonally into 1 cm widths. Roughly chop the leaves.
* Step 6
Roughly chop the cabbage leaves, and lay a bed of them in a frying pan.
* Step 7
Slice the onion into 4-5 mm thickness and place the slices of onion and celery on top of the cabbage leaves.
* Step 8
Prepare 3-4 pieces of salted lemons. Add some brine if available.
* Step 9
Lightly drain the rehydrated mushrooms without squeezing out the excess water, and place them on top of the vegetables.
* Step 10
Place the chicken coated with shio-koji on top. Sprinkle with sake and cover tightly with a lid. Turn on the heat and cook over a low heat until the vegetables start to produce moisture..
* Step 11
After a short while, increase the heat to high and steam for 10-12 minutes; then remove the chicken and wrap in aluminium foil and set aside for 3-4 minutes.
* Step 12
Transfer the vegetables to a serving dish.
* Step 13
Prepare the grated vegetable ponzu sauce.
* Step 14
Remove the foil and slice the chicken breast. Place the chicken on top of the bed of vegetables. Liberally drizzle the ponzu sauce on top.
