Japanese-style breaded chicken breast recipe

Ingredients

• 500 g of chicken breast
• Grated ginger
• 2 red bell peppers
• 1 zucchini
• 2 green peppers
• 1 carrot
• 1 onion
• 2 tablespoons of sake (25 ml)
• 1 sheet of nori seaweed
• Flour
• Soy sauce

Preparation

Preparation of vegetables

• First, in a pot, bring a cup of water to a boil.
• While the water is heating, go chopping the vegetables to your liking, although it is better to do it in small portions.

• When the water starts to boil, add half a cup of soy sauce, a small tablespoon of salt, and a tablespoon of sugar .
• Next, add the nori seaweed and stir little by little.
• Then, leave in the pot until the water has evaporated for 10 minutes.
• Heat a jet of oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion and carrot for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve the sauce in which you dissolved the seaweed in a deep bowl and add all the vegetables, let it rest for 15 minutes.

Chicken elaboration

• While the vegetables rest, proceed to prepare your boneless and filleted breasts by putting them in a bowl.
• Add the soy sauce, grated ginger, and a generous splash of sake. The idea is that the drink you use has a strong flavor and a lot of aroma.
• Mix everything with your hands until it is well incorporated.
• Put to heat in a pot plenty of oil to fry your chicken.
• Take one of the chicken fillets and pat it dry with a napkin so it doesn’t drip.

• Go through a recent where your chicken fillet is flour until it is covered all over.
• Once the oil is very hot, introduce your breast and remove it when it is golden and crispy.
• Let the chicken rest on a napkin to remove excess oil.
• When you have all your fried pieces, put them in a deep container.

Preparation of the dish

• Recover the vegetables from the sauce where they were resting and toss them with the chicken.
• Try to mix the flavors well, because once you have achieved this, your dish will be ready to be served.
• Since this recipe already incorporates vegetables, we suggest serving it without any garnish. But if you prefer, you can use potatoes cooked with butter to have something that neutralizes the intense flavor.
• Serve it with a little sake or beer. This will intensify the flavor even more and will be a feast for your taste buds.

Additional tips

• If you have trouble getting the sake, you can substitute white wine or a double or triple fermented beer.
• You can replace the grated ginger with the juice of a lemon.
• A suggestion for cutting vegetables would be carrots and bell peppers, while onion and zucchini are better than fine chops. Remember that all vegetables must be kept separately.
• When you leave the seaweed in the pot , it will break down into pieces releasing all the flavor, so don’t worry when this happens.
• If you don’t like the taste of raw pepper, you can put it to cook along with the other vegetables, although this will detract from the texture.
• In general, with the oil very hot, the process of frying the breasts should not take more than 15 minutes.
• Visually this dish may not look very appetizing, but the intense and delicious flavor is very difficult to describe.
• It is usually decorated by sprinkling sesame seeds on it.
