My Mom makes these tebasaki Japanese chicken wings, they are deep fried with a savory garlic soy glaze. I don't deep fry very often but the glaze is so good, we have eaten it on quite a few things. Our current favorite is oven fried chicken legs, last time I made a whole tray about 3 pounds. There was none leftover for lunches! Leftovers are pretty much the favorite thing for a packed lunch around here.
Tebasaki sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup mirin (can substitute more sake and a teaspoon of sugar)
1/4 cup sake
1 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoon balsamic or black vinegar
Bring to a boil all the ingredients except the vinegar, remove from the heat and add the vinegar. You can thicken the sauce with a little corn or potato starch. Slather it on yummy chicken, veggies, tofu, rice....finish by sprinkling with sesame seeds.
Trying this soon!
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty good!
ReplyDeleteAh not so complicated :) I could do this. What kind of sake do you use?
ReplyDeleteWe tried some new sakes for my birthday, our current go-to is sold in a carton like milk! Kinda cheapish, but tasty and perfect for sauce.
Deletemmmm, made this with chicken legs the other night...cooked them mostly on the grill first, then a quick fry. Super delish!!
