Ingredients

  • 3 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 6 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp clear honey
  • 2 tbsp dry sherry
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 450g pack crunchy stir-fry vegetables (with pak choi, water chestnuts, beansprouts, carrots, peppers, red onions and herbs etc)
  • 1 tbsp cornflour

Method: How to make yakitori chicken

1. Mix the chicken, soy sauce, honey and sherry in a shallow non-metallic dish. Cover and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes – if you have time.

2. Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan over a high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade with a slotted spoon, add to the wok and stir-fry for 5 minutes, until cooked through.

3. Remove the herbs from the pack of stir-fry vegetables and set aside in cold water. Tip the vegetables into the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute.

4. Mix any remaining marinade with the cornflour until well combined and pour into the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until everything is cooked and coated in the sauce. Serve spooned over flat rice noodles and scatter with the reserved herbs.

Wine note

find a white wine with no oak, but a little sweetness – an appley German Riesling is spot on. Or sake would be very nice, too.

  1. You can use a good teriyaki sauce instead of the soy sauce, honey and sherry. Even more authentic
