Umami-Rich Mixed Shio-Konbu, Steamed Chicken and Burdock Root
- 2 Chicken tenders (or breast meat)
- 2 thin Burdock root
- 10 grams Shio-kombu
- 1 tbsp Sake
- 1 tbsp Shiro-dashi (or replace with dashi soy sauce, or dashi stock granules
- 1 tsp Vinegar
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1/3 tsp Grated wasabi
- 1 tbsp Toasted white sesame seeds
- 2 stalks worth Chopped green onions
- Remove the sinews off the chicken tenders.
- Put on a heatproof plate with the pointy ends of each one alternating sides.
- Top with shio-konbu and sake.
- Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes at 600 W. Let cool covered with the plastic wrap.
- Thinly slice the burdock root into diagonal, then julienne.
- Soak the burdock root in water, then blanch for 2 minutes in boiling water (don't overcook).
- Finely shred the cooled chicken from Step 2 in a plate.
- Combine the ingredients in a bowl.
- Drain the blanched burdock root, and add to the bowl.
- Add the shredded chicken from Step 4.
- Add the ingredients (combine the mayonnaise and wasabi together first), and mix together lightly.
- Plate, garnish with chopped green onion and serve.
- I also made a reduced-salt version.
- It was just as delicious A version that used chicken breast meat was also great.
- By the way, 100 g of washed burdock root is 2 thin burdock roots like the ones shown.
- They're about 1.5 cm in diameter at the thick end and and 7mm in diameter at the thin end.
- "Seikomo" made a big batch with black sesame seeds.
- The black of the sesame seeds with the black of the shio-konbu provide a great look and deliver an excellent combination of flavors.
- Please keep note of this variation.
- I could make the whole dish just using the microwave too.
- Top the chicken in Step 1 with burdock root, microwave for 3 minutes, then leave to cool with the plastic wrap on.
- Shred the chicken when cool.
