00:00Want to enjoy Japanese yakitori without a fuss? Then ditch the skewers and savour this
00:05easy and delicious chicken yakitori donburi with crunchy vegetables coated in an addictive
00:10yakitori-inspired sauce.
00:15The first step is making the sauce so grab a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce,
00:202 tablespoons of mirin, 2 tablespoons of sake, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of honey,
00:27½ tablespoon of grey garlic, and ½ teaspoon of Chinese style chicken bouillon powder.
00:34Mix it well and then set it by the stove ready for later.
00:41Next take 300 grams of burn less skin on chicken thigh, cut in 2 by 6 pieces, and sprinkle with
00:48a pinch of some pepper, and ½ tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix that by hand until evenly covered.
00:55Cornstarch will thicken the sauce slightly and help it stick better to the surface of
01:00the chicken.
01:01When that's done, heat a large pan on medium and add about ½ tablespoon of cooking oil.
01:07Once it's hot, add one roughly chopped zucchini, half a Japanese leek cut into 5cm pieces, and
01:14half a cubed bell pepper. I chose vegetables that don't need much cooking and taste delicious
01:21when grilled on a BBQ to match the actuary theme of the dish.
01:25The goal here is to char all the vegetables, so turn them occasionally to get those beautiful
01:30brown bits on the surface. Once they look like this, transfer them to a plate and set aside
01:36for later.
01:42We're going to reuse the pan, so add a bit more oil and then place your chicken into the
01:47pan. I'm placing it with the skin side facing down so it can crisp up nicely. The skin will
01:54also release extra flavour, which will mix with the sauce and add depth. Once it's crispy,
02:00turn the chicken over and brown it on the other side.
02:10When there's no more pink visible, you can add your charred vegetables back in,
02:15along with the sauce we prepared earlier. All we need to do now is thicken the sauce,
02:21stir the chicken and vegetables continuously to help coat all the surfaces with the sauce as it thickens.
02:35Once it's reduced and glossy like this, take the pan off the heat.
02:39Sprinkle your rice with shredded kizami nori and then place a generous portion of chicken and vegetables
02:45on top. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of shichimi togarashi, and that's it.
02:55Delicious yakitori-inspired donburi, the perfect easy way to enjoy yakitori at home.
