Japanese Yakitori

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 15 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 x pack Continental Honey Soy Beef Noodle Stir Fry Recipe Base

¼ cup (60mL) honey

4 tablespoons water

400g chicken thigh, cut into large cubes

2 stalks green shallots or spring onions, cut into 3 cm lengths

8 wooden skewers

Mizuna Salad:

150g Mizuna lettuce or baby spinach leaves

1 small cucumber, sliced thinly

2 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

1 small carrot, thinly sliced

100g radish, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Method:

Prepare the sauce by simmering the recipe base, honey and water in a pot for 2 mins until the sauce is thick and sticky, reserve 1 tablespoon for your salad dressing. 

Soak your wooden skewers in cold water so they don't burn. Thread the chicken and shallots onto the skewers.

Using a brush, glaze the skewers with the cooled sauce. BBQ or grill the skewers on a strong heat, turning regularly so they cook evenly, brush with more sauce each time you turn them.

Toss the salad ingredients with some of your reserved sauce and sesame oil and serve with the skewers.

Hint: Asparagus and firm tofu also work really well on the skewers.
