He asked me to try and not knowing how to use it, decided to get some chicken, chopped them up into chunks and marinade for about 30 minutes. Added some Kikkoman for extra flavour. Nothing else but those 2.
The Bottle Lable of Yakiniku
The Back Labe in English
Kikkoman Sauce
Marinating Chicken
Not knowing what cooking method to use, opt for the easiest - Fried. Shallow fry that is. As far as I know, there are 4 types of frying - starting with Sauteing, Shallow Fried, Deep Fried and lastly Stir Fry which is favoured by the Chinese.
Of the 4 method, by far the best is still sauteed and stir fried. Why ? Healthy is the word. This 2 method utilizes little or no fats.
I diverse. Back to the chicken. This is how it looks like after cooking.
Not a pretty sight and the taste is not what I expected. It is supposed to be a sort of BBQ marinade and I guess, frying would not bring out the flavour as opposed to roasting or grilling.
This marks my century post. I am now researching for Yee Sang. WIsh I can find more details so that I can post a good post like many of those who had been nominated for FOOD BLOG AWARD.
Cheers !
what's the diff between sautee and stir fry huh? me being at cook-to-save-my-life level just "fry". :P
ReplyDeletebiggest difference is the technique. One using pan te other wok. Saute shorter perod to retain colour, texture and flavour. MOst are for glazing.
ReplyDeleteStirfried , u get the "wok hei". Both use high heat but the wok distribute heat better than a pan and utilize less gas,etc.
Is the sauce similar to Teriyaki? hmmm i think it looks good.
