Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place Ponzu (Soy Sauce & Vinegar), Mirin and Ginger (and Sugar if you like) in a bowl and mix well to make the sauce.
- 2
Cut off the green bit of Eggplants and cut in half or quarter lengthways, then make many shallow cuts on the skin, scoring it. Then cut into smaller pieces.
- 3
Heat Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, cook Eggplants on the skin side down for a few minutes. Then cook other sides as well until they are slightly coloured.
- 4
Add Green Sweet Chilli, cover with the lid and cook until all eggplant pieces are soft. Adding 1-2 tablespoons Water would help steam-cook the vegetables.
- 5
Transfer the cooked vegetables into a deep dish or bowl, pour over the ponzu sauce and set aside.
- 6
Cut Chicken Tenderloins or Breast Fillets into 3 to 4cm size, lightly season with Salt & Pepper, then coat with Potato Starch Flour. This layer of flour will turn to jelly-like when combined with sauce.
- 7
Heat Oil in a frying pan and cook Chicken. Tenderloins won’t take long to cook. You don’t need to brown the Chicken.
- 8
Place marinated vegetables in a serving bowl, place chicken on top, then pour over the marinade. Sprinkle chopped Spring Onion over and serve.
