Hibachi Yakitori

By , About.com Guide

Yakitori is the Japanese equivalent of the American Hot Dog. These meat kebabs are sold by street vendors throughout Japan and usually served up with a nice cold beer after a long days work.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 bunches green onions, washed, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup sake
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger

Preparation:

Soak about 20 small bamboo skewers in water. Preheat grill. Combine soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar and ginger in a saucepan and heat enough to melt the sugar. Thread chicken and onion pieces onto skewers, about three pieces of chicken each. Reserve 1/3 cup of sauce and pour the rest over the kebabs brushing to evenly coat. Place skewers on hot grill and grill for about 3 minutes per side or until done. Remove skewers from grill and serve with remaining sauce.
