I love the look and sound of this dish! I don’t have any sake, do you think I can leave it out?

Yes, you can leave it out. But, it's a great idea to have a bottle of Sake in your kitchen. I don't buy very good quality Sake as I would drink it. Cooking Sake is just good enough.

I take it the mirin, soy and sugar is the sauce?👍

Yes, see Step 2. Combine Mirin, Soy Sauce and Sugar to make 'Tare' sauce. 'Tare' is a Japanese term for the sauces often used in grilling ingredients.

Thanks for that. After I posted that question I looked up your web site. 👍

Me again, where do you get your shichimi? I live in Narre Warren .

Most Asian grocery stores sell it, in Japanese food section. There are quite a few Chinese or Korean shops around Ringwood area, and all them sell Shichimi.

I thought as much, I'll have too do some research before our next go too Costco.🤔😁
Having said that, what do you suggest as an alternative? I notice that shichimi has dried orange peel in it. I have szechuan seasoning and thought about drizzling a bit of orange juice.
Thank you so much for your information. 👍

Forget Orange Juice!!! Some ground chilli will do.

I may be tempted next time too include some Bok choy for crunch. Just a thought.
Thanks for the great recipe.
