Method
300g Tilda Pure Basmati Rice
150ml light soy sauce
75ml mirin
50ml rice wine vinegar
50g brown sugar
1 tbsp garlic (chopped)
2cm fresh ginger (peeled, ½ sliced, ½ grated)
4 chicken breasts (cubed)
1 tsp sesame oil
600ml water
100g spring onions (thinly sliced)
100g cucumber (chopped)
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- In a bowl mix the soy sauce, mirin, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic and grated ginger until sugar dissolves.
- Add the chicken and marinate for 15 mins or preferably overnight in the fridge.
- Remove chicken from marinade and place on around 8 pre-soaked wooden skewers, retaining left over marinade.
- Fry the chicken with the sesame oil to seal and place in the oven for 15 mins at 170°C.
