Sauteed Chicken with Sudachi Citrus and Shio-koji
- 1 Chicken thigh
- 1 tbsp Shio-koji
- 2 to 3 Sudachi citrus
- 1 tsp Vegetable oil
- Wash the sudachi and slice thinly.
- Remove the excess fat from the chicken.
- Pound with a rolling pin until half its original thickness.
- Line your chopping board with cling film.
- Place half of the sudachi slices on top.
- Drizzle half of the shio-koji and arrange the chicken on top.
- Smear the rest of shio-koji over the other side of the chicken and arrange the rest of sudachi slices on top.
- Wrap the chicken with cling film and put into a resealable plastic bag.
- Leave to sit in the fridge for 2 to 3 days (take it out of the fridge 10 to 15 minutes before cooking and return to room temperature).
- Rinse off the shio-koji from the surface of the chicken and pat dry.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and place the chicken with the skin side down.
- Fry over low heat.
- When the edge of the meat has started to change its colour, turn it over.
- Add the sudachi slices and cover with a lid.
- After 2 to 3 minutes of steam-roasting, uncover and turn off the heat.
- Leave to rest to allow the meat juices to be absorbed by the meat.
- Slice the meat and plate.
- I made the marinating time longer to allow the meat to absorb the flavours more.
- I also rinse the shio-koji off the meat before frying to prevent burning.
