Reduced Vinegar Youlinji Chicken
- 1 Cooking sake
- 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp Grated ginger, garlic
- 1 Salt and pepper
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 1 Chicken thigh (or breast)
- 1 Plain flour
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 rounded teaspoons Sugar
- 1 tsp Vinegar
- 1 Chopped green onion
- 1 Red chilli (as needed), plus 2.5 tsp each of grated ginger and garlic
- 1/2 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 Toasted white sesame seeds
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix with the ingredients well.
- Drain the liquid from Step 1 and coat the chicken with the plain flour.
- Put everything in a plastic bag and shake well.
- Pour the oil into a frying pan and fry the chicken until crispy and golden brown.
- If the chicken has its skin place the skin side down first.
- You can fry the chicken with less oil.
- Cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
- After cooking through uncover and continue to fry the chicken until crispy.
- Put all sauce ingredients into a heat-proof cup and mix well.
- Microwave the mixture to heat through.
- Add ingredients and mix well.
- Note: After frying the chicken, you can clean the frying pan and heat the sauce ingredients.
- Pour the hot Step 5 sauce over Step 4.
- The main picture doesn't have any chopped green onion, just sesame seeds on top.
- Note: If the vinegar you use is not so harsh, use 1 tablespoon.
- It's quite delicious.
- If your microwave has a steam-cooking program you can make this dish much healthier.
- I recommend heating the sauce in a sauce pan.
