Directions

35 min
  1. 1

    Pierce both sides of the 300g chicken breast with a fork while keeping the skin intact. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice the ginger, lightly crush the garlic clove, and halve the red chili pepper, removing the seeds.

  3. 3

    Pour 1/2 cup Mitsukan Ajippon and 1/2 cup water into a skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, and red chili pepper.

  4. 4

    Once the seasoning liquid comes to a boil, place the chicken breast skin-side up in the skillet. Cover and steam over low heat for about 7 minutes per side, for a total of 14 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat, flip the chicken skin-side down, and let rest for about 10 minutes to finish cooking through with residual heat.

  6. 6

    Remove the chicken and slice diagonally into 8mm-thick pieces. Arrange on a serving plate.

  7. 7

    Add mizuna and cherry tomatoes as garnish. Reheat the steaming liquid over medium heat and pour over the chicken.

Tips

During steaming, maintain a heat level where the liquid gently bubbles. For a richer flavor, reduce the cooking liquid slightly over heat. Store in the refrigerator and consume within about 24 hours.
