Ingredients

  • 400 grams Chicken breast
  • 1 dash Salt
  • 1/2 medium Carrot
  • 1/2 medium Onion
  • 150 ml Dashi stock
  • 4 tbsp Vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Roasted sesame seeds
  • 1 Cake flour (as needed)
  • 1 Vegetable oil (as needed)

Method

  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized 5 mm thick strips and season lightly with salt.
  • Finely julienne the carrot and thinly slice the onion.
  • Combine the dashi stock, vinegar and sugar in a bowl and add the carrot and onion.
  • Heat for 1 minute in the microwave and mix well.
  • Add a little vegetable oil to a frying pan and heat.
  • Cover each piece of chicken with a thin coating of flour and fry in the pan until brown.
  • Make sure that the chicken is cooked all the way through.
  • When the meat is cooked, marinate it in the sauce from Step 2.
  • If you have time, marinate for at least 2 hours before serving with a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
  • I scattered some radish sprouts over the top for a bit of colour.
  • Marinating the chicken alongside some dried shredded daikon radish also tastes great.
