Sake Steamed Chicken With Ginger
- 3 1/2 lbs chicken, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 1/2 cups sake (dry)
- kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mirin or 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet sherry
- 1 tablespoon fresh gingerroot, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, preferably black
- In a large stockpot, place a steamer basket and pour in equal amounts of sake and water, just enough to reach the bottom of the steamer basket; bring to a boil.
- Salt the chicken inside and out and place, breast side up, in the steamer basket; reduce heat to low, cover, and steam chicken until the juices run clear, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Turn off the heat and let cool for about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, orange juice, rice vinegar, lemon juice, mirin, ginger, and garlic.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and place on a large cutting board; carve and arrange pieces on a serving platter.
- Spoon some of the sauce over the meat, then sprinkle with green onions, and sesame seeds; serve additional sauce on the side.
