Tender Chicken Breast Roll
- 1 Chicken breast
- 3 to 4 Shiso leaves
- 1 slice Easily-melting cheese
- 1 tbsp Shio-koji (salt-fermented rice malt)
- Butterly any thick parts of the chicken so that it is even in thickness overall.
- Rub in the shio-koji, and let the chicken for about 15 minutes.
- Place the shiso leaves on the chicken.
- Top with the cheese, and roll up tightly from the near side.
- Wrap in plastic, and secure the ends closed with rubber bands.
- Wrap the roll with aluminium foil.
- Add enough water to immerse the chicken roll halfway and bring to a boil.
- Add the roll and cover with a lid.
- After 5 to 6 minutes turn the rolls over.
- Replace the lid and steam for another 5 minutes.
- If it looks like the pan is boiling dry, add some more water.
- Take the roll out of the frying pan, and leave to cool down still wrapped in the foil.
- When you unwrap the roll, reserve any meat juices that come out to make a sauce later.
- Brown the roll lightly in a frying pan.
- Even if you don't brown the roll it will still be delicious.
- Once the roll is browned, cool it down a bit and slice to finish!!
- It doesn't need any sauce!
- It's also delicious dipped in a sauce made by combining the juice from the chicken with ponzu sauce, or storebought basil sauce + mayonnaise.
