Garlic chicken breast steak

 

Ingredients:

Chicken breast (brought to room temperature) 1 piece (300g)

Sugar 1 teaspoon

Salt 1 teaspoon

Sake 1 tablespoon

Vegetable oil 1 tablespoon

Sake 2 tablespoons

Mirin 2 tablespoons

Soy sauce 3 tablespoons

Grated garlic 1 teaspoon

Coarsely ground black pepper a pinch

Parsley (for garnish) as needed

Instructions:

1. Pierce the skin side of the chicken breast in several places with a fork. Flip it over and flatten the thickness evenly by tapping it with the back of a knife.

2. Sprinkle with sugar, salt, and sake, rub it in, and let it sit for 30 minutes.

3. Wipe off any excess moisture from the chicken with a paper towel and sprinkle with coarsely ground black pepper.

4. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over high heat, and cook the chicken skin-side down for about 1 minute. Once browned, flip it over, cover, and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan and set aside.

5. In the same frying pan, add sake, mirin, soy sauce, and grated garlic and simmer briefly. Return the chicken to the pan and coat it with the sauce.

6. Serve on a plate, sprinkle with parsley, and it's ready!
