My wife is currently sick as a dog with a terrible head and chest cold. Bless her sweet little heart! Anyway, with that, I'm told to always feed a cold and starve the flu. So here's the hot and incredibly flavorful dish I decided to make her this evening. It ended up being one delicious cure all for her!

This dish was all about the high heat, [for her wicked sore throat] and the acids from the Asian slaw and Hot & Sour Soup, [for the same reasoning - plus those crunchy noodles will do wonders for their scratchy throat!] The Thai Chilies [for her stuffy sinuses] And, for the extreme flavor - extra hot chinese mustard and sweet teriyaki sauce for her lack of taste and smell.

All I know is she fed quite well, smiled like hell, and went back to bed and slumbered like a comforted tiny baby!

SO, GO TEAM MIKE! 😆 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Steps

15 mins

1

Here's most of what you'll need for your Asian Slaw.
2

One of the better chilled Ginger Dressings I'm familiar with.
3

Gently mix everything together in the Asian Slaw section and chill for 15 minutes.
4

Slice chicken into small strips or cubes and marinate for 15 minutes.
5

While waiting, soak scewers in water and a dash of Sake for 10 minutes. Then, scewer chicken meat on to them.
6

Grill marinated chicken for 6 to 10 minutes depending upon thickness. Turn meat regularly but making sure to get a char on each side.
7

Serve grilled Chicken Yakatori with chilled Extra Hot Asian Mustard and a sweet Teriyaki Diping Sauce.
8

9

My recipe for Hot & Sour Soup goes great with this dish as well. Look for it under my profile if you're interested. This piping hot soup really helped her throat pain as well.
10

Serve with a quality room temp Sake.

Remember, medications aren't the only way to treat your loved ones. 😆 Enjoy!
