Beware of Overeating! Chicken Stir Fry with Green Onions, Mayonnaise, and Ponzu Sauce
- 2 pieces Chicken (thigh or breast meat)
- 1 Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp Sake
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Katakuriko
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise (for stir frying) - see directions regarding using reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Mayonnaise (to season)
- 1 Green onion (chopped)
- 2 tbsp Ponzu
- Cut the chicken into easy to eat pieces.
- The chicken in the photo is diced, but I recommend cutting it into thin diagonal slices, which cooks faster.
- Rub the seasonings, and let rest for 10 minutes or more (using a plastic bag would be handy).
- Coat the chicken with katakuriko.
- Add the mayonnaise for stir frying in a pan and turn on the heat.
- When the mayonnaise starts to melt, add the chicken.
- Brown the chicken over medium-high heat.
- Don't stir or move around the pieces too much.
- When the surface has browned, turn the heat down a little, cover with a lid and cook the chicken through.
- Reduced fat mayonnaise doesn't melt and forms lumps, so don't use it.
- If using reduced fat mayonnaise and it clumps up, just keep stir-frying constantly and then add the chicken.
- Enough oil will come out of the mayonnaise and it will taste great.
- If a lot of fat comes out (of the mayonnaise or chicken), just wipe it with paper towels to prevent the meat from getting soggy.
- Add more mayonnaise (to season) and ponzu sauce as well as the chopped green onion, and mix everything together briskly.
- If you brown the chicken properly to start with, the mayonnaise and ponzu sauce added at the end will cling to the pieces nicely, and they'll be very tasty.
- Tip: melt the mayonnaise for stir frying completely before adding the chicken.
- Tip no.
- 2: the mayonnaise added at the end for flavor doesn't need to be heated.
- Just mix it lightly in and turn off the heat.
- Another tip: try adding 2 finely minced garlic cloves to the melted mayonnaise.
- Saute slowly over low heat to bring out the fragrance, then add the chicken.
