Yakitori is a traditional Japanese street food dish and a true "must-try" for anyone who loves exotic food and grilled dishes!
Ingredients for 4 people
- 400 g chicken breast
- 2 spring onions
For the marinade:
- 2 garlic cloves
- Chili pepper or chili powder (as needed)
- 100 ml sake (rice wine)
- 100 ml mirin (rice vinegar)
- 2 tbsp oil
- 100 ml soy sauce
- 15 g honey (optional: sugar)
Preparation
Preparation:
If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water first so that the skewers do not burn while grilling.
Now cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and the spring onions into pieces about 2-3 cm long so that they match the size of the chicken pieces. Now thread the chicken and spring onions onto the skewers, alternating between the two.
Marinade:
Halve the garlic, halve the chili peppers if necessary, and place in a small saucepan along with the sake, mirin, oil, soy sauce, and honey (or sugar). Heat over medium heat until about half of the liquid has evaporated. Then remove the garlic halves and the chili peppers.
Marinating & Grilling:
Let the skewers soak in the marinade for 10 minutes. Then put them on the grill! Let the skewers grill on all sides until they have a nice color. You can brush them with marinade in between.
When the skewers are done grilling, serve them with the remaining marinade. An absolute delight!
Tip: We recommend rice as a side dish for the Yakitori skewers.
