It's a delicious recipe that's even better than what you'll find in a Chinese restaurant!

I recommend using chicken thighs!!
Use a small amount of oil to fry the chicken and make it nice and crispy♪
The yu lin chi sauce tastes better if you let it rest for more than an hour rather than using it right away.　
Finely mincing the garlic gives the yu lin chi sauce a wonderful fragrance and makes it taste even better. Recipe by Eiyoushino recipe

1 tbsp★Sake
1 dash★Salt and pepper
Youlinji Sauce (10 Ingredients)
1/2a stalk ●Japanese leek (finely chopped)
1 clove●Chopped garlic
2 cmout of tube ●Grated ginger (tubed)
1 1/2 tbsp●Soy sauce
1 1/2a tablespoons ●Vinegar
1 tbsp●Sugar
1 tbsp●Water
2 tsp●Sesame oil
1 tsp●Sake
1 tsp●Honey
1Katakuriko (for coating)
1Frying oil

Cooking Instructions

1

Finely chop the Japanese leek and mince the garlic. Mince the garlic as small as possible.
2

Combine all the ● ingredients for the yu lin chi sauce and set it aside. The flavor will penetrate and the sauce will be tastier if you set it aside for over one hour.
3

Insert a knife into the thick part of the chicken, cut it open to make the thickness of chicken even. Remove the yellowish fat with a knife as much as possible to eliminate any odor.
4

Season the chicken with the ★ ingredients and set it aside (for at least 10 minutes).
5

In a skillet, pour oil about 1 cm depth.
6

Coat the seasoned chicken evenly with katakuriko.
7

Fry the chicken slowly, skin side down over medium-low heat.
8

Once the skin is golden brown, flip the chicken and fry the other side. Fry it slowly, taking about 10 minutes.
9

Take the chicken out of the oil and put it onto a shallow wired rack container and let it sit for about 3 minutes (so it cooks thoroughly with the residual heat).
10

Cut the chicken to your preferred size.
11

Spread some vegetables such as lettuce onto a serving plate, place the chicken on top of it.
12

Pour the Youlinji sauce onto the chicken and it's ready to serve.
13

This recipe calls for generous amount of Youlinji sauce. You can serve the extra sauce on the side if you prefer.
14

I tried the You lin ji sauce on cold shabu-shabu. It was refreshing and quite tasty.

This is the original recipe from our family's various Youlinji recipes!I followed "Salted chicken style prep method"to make the chicken breasts tender.I used to dust chicken breasts with katakuriko and deep-fry right away, but coating the chicken well with the katakuriko seems to reduce the amount of katakuriko dropping into the oil.

Fried Chicken Sweet N' Sour Sauce with Tartar Fried Chicken Sweet N' Sour Sauce with Tartar

I made it with slightly spicy sweet n' sour sauce. In Miyagi prefecture, they dredge the meat in katakuriko dipped in egg. The fluffy inside will surprise you.A hint is to prepare the chicken meat and to season it well... When frying, make sure to add enough oil so that it comes up to half of the height of the chicken I personally like tartar sauce, but eat with whatever sauce you prefer. For reference, the tartar sauce is made by combining 1 boiled egg, minced onion, minced cucumber, 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 4 tablespoons lemon juice, and salt, and pepper, and a pinch of parsley.

Chicken & Pork Meatballs! Sweet and Sour Sauce Chicken & Pork Meatballs! Sweet and Sour Sauce

I saw some ground chicken breast on sale! Chicken has a pretty light flavor to it, so when I decided to change half of the meat to pork, I ended up with especially tasty meatballs!This meaty and hearty dish lets you enjoy the taste of chicken without the greasiness of an all-pork recipe.If you like your meatballs chock-full of meat, reduce the amount of onions.If your onion seems to be on the watery side, make sure to squeeze the moisture out after chopping.After pouring the sauce onto the meatballs, simmer well to get rid of the acidity from the ketchup and vinegar.These are also good without doubanjiang!
