Yakitori Chicken Kebabs
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, 8-10 oz. each, skinless boneless (Organic does taste better!)
a bunch of green onions (scallions), cut into 2 inches segments
bamboo skewers
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sake
1/2 cup sweet rice wine (Mirin)
1/4 tsp ground ginger
2 garlic cloves, chopped very finely
3 tbsp sugar
aluminum foil
Method
1 Wash the chicken, pat dry with paper towels, and cut crosswise into 1/2 inch strips
2 Wash and cut the scallions into 2 inches strips
3 Skewer the chicken strips and scallions onto a pair of bamboo skewers (using 2 makes it easy to turn over). You may also place the scallions on separate skewers as they do not need to cook as much.
4 Mix in soy sauce, sake, mirin, ginger, garlic, and sugar in a small sauce pan.
5 Bring to a boil, then reduce about half till the sauce is a bit syrupy, set aside about 1/3 of the sauce.
6 Meanwhile, preheat your grill to high, clean and oil your grate when it is hot enough.
7 Place some aluminum foil to protect the exposed part of the skewers and then place them on the grill.
8 After 3 minutes, turn the skewers over and brush with some of the sauce
9 The whole grilling process should take 8-10 minutes depending on your grill and the thickness of the chicken.
Serve immediately with the sauce you set aside
