by Robert-Gilles Martineau
Apparently, yakitori and especially tsukune are very popular not only in Japan but almost everywhere in the world as they share similarities with many other countries’ specialties! After all a hamburger is nothing less than a big tsukune!LOL

Ингредиенты
High quality chicken (breast or thigh): 250 g
Leek (long narrow one): 1
Soy sauce + Japanese sake + mirin/sweet sake: 4 tablespoons each
Honey: 2 teaspoons
Fresh ginger juice (also available over the counter in Asian stores): 10 ml
Water: 2 tablespoons
Cornstarch: 2 tablespoons
Salad oil: 2 tablespoons
Инструкции
Cut chicken and leek into rough pieces and drop them into a food processor. Add one half of the cornstarch, water, soy sauce, sake and mirin each.
Process well until you obtain a smooth paste. Stop the food processor from time to time to move chicken from the centre with a spatula.
Make/shape âpattiesâ/tsukune.
Fry in oil on a frypan over a low fire on both side until you obtain a light brown colour (âfoxyâ in Japanese)
Pour the rest of the soy sauce, sake, mirin, ginger juice, and cornstarch dissolved in water over the tsukune and cook until the sauce has caramelized.
Serve immediately!
NOTE:
By dividing the seasoning in two halves, the chicken will be thoroughly impregnated with the taste.
