I created this recipe because I had lots of chicken at home. I tried making a quick and easy dish this time.

☆ The key is not putting the marinade in the fridge right away to cool. Let it cool completely, then put in the fridge. It will help the flavour absorb better.

☆ When I make this, I use 2 layers of plastic wrap to wrap the chicken to prevent it from falling apart.

☆I recommend eating it with the sauce. Recipe by Otunu

Ingredients

2 servings
  1. ★As long as you have chicken breasts, you are ready to go! ♪ ★
  2. 2Chicken breasts
  3. 100 ml☆Soy sauce
  4. 100 ml☆Mirin
  5. 50 ml☆Sake
  6. 3 tbsp☆Sugar

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Here are the ingredients: Chicken breasts. There is nothing wrong with chicken on sale ♩ Poke holes both sides with a fork.

  2. 2

    Next, prepare to wrap with plastic wrap. Place the chicken on the wrap, and tightly squeeze into round shapes. Cover with the wrap to prevent them from falling apart.

  3. 3

    Microwave for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    In the mean time, mix the ☆ ingredients, and bring the mixture to a boil in a pot. Turn off the heat.

  5. 5

    Put the microwaved chicken and the sauce into a Ziploc bag. You can put them in a Ziploc container as well. Keep the marinade at room temperature instead of putting in the fridge right away to help the chicken absorb the flavour.

  6. 6

    When cooled down to room temperature, refrigerate for about half a day. It's a little bit hard when it's cold, so when you are planning to eat, warm it up or bring up to room temperature.

  7. 7

    For those people who like strong taste, the flavor gets absorbed better when you slice the meat, then marinate.

  8. 8

    Tips: If you are planning to slice the meat then marinate, let it sit for a little while after microwaving, and slice. If you slice it right away, it's not cooked through yet.

  9. 9

    The orange topping in the picture is grated carrot.
