Directions
Japanese Mum’s Chicken,We have a Japanese girl, Tomoko, living with us, and tonight she and I cooked a Japanese dinner for us and her friends. She phoned her mum,Toshiko, in Japan for this, as it’s her favourite recipe, and I wanted to share it here. It’s simple and so good, and Tomoko, who is only 16, did such a good job of cooking this, then translating the recipe to English for me. *The liquid will thicken to a glaze if you are patient. It just takes a bit of time. If you feel your chicken is cooked (and going to overcook) remove it before going on to reduce the liquid. Same thing, if you must use breast meat, remove it (so it doesn’t dry out) and continue reducing the liquid . If you do it this way rather than thickening with cornstarch you will get a richer glaze and not need to add stock or broth instead of the water. It just takes patience. AND NOTE: A glaze is sticky and coats the meat, this is NOT a sauce.,Ive been using this recipe for years for a filling for rice balls, its the best! use chicken breast instead of thighs, chili garlic paste instead of the chili, and cook it in the slow cooker. I shred the chicken then add it back in for a while to let the flavor soak through, drain the chicken and use the leftover sauce to saut some finely chopped veggies. Then I add the veg to the chicken and fill the rice balls with it. Honestly the absolute best recipe I have ever come across! Its really fun to see how people have made it their own! Thank you so much for posting it!!,I’ve been making this recipe for years, it’s a family favourite! Since the sauce takes a long time to cook down, I just add a teaspoon or so of flour at the beginning to thicken it, that way it’s ready when the chicken is ready.
