1

Tear Chicken Breast Fillet into 2 to 3 pieces so that they will cook quickly. Place the chicken pieces in a heat-resistant bowl, sprinkle with Salt and Sake, cover the bowl with a small plate or paper towel, and cook in the microwave at 50% power OR at 600W for 2 to 3 minutes. Let it cool before handling.
2

Cut Cucumber in half lengthways and slice diagonally. Sprinkle a pinch of Salt and massage, then rest for a while.
3

Make the sauce by mixing all ingredients.
4

When the chicken pieces are cool enough to touch, tear them into strips.
5

Add the chicken strips and the sauce to the cucumber, and combine well.
