Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 Tbsp. regular or possibly low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. mirin
- 1 tsp grated ginger root
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. sake
- 1 c. short-grain rice
- 1 c. water plus
- 2 Tbsp. water - (to 3)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds Lime wedges for garnish Minced green onion for garnish
Directions
- For the Chicken: Heat the broiler or possibly grill to medium-high heat. Cut each chicken thigh into 8 bite-size pcs. Combine the soy sauce, mirin, ginger, sugar and sake. Add in the chicken and marinate 10 min. Thread the chicken on skewers, then broil or possibly grill, basting with the marinade and turning the skewers every minute so the chicken doesn't burn, till lightly browned. The chicken will take about 6 to 8 min to grill or possibly about 5 min to broil.
- For the Basic Rice: Gently rinse the rice under cool running water 2 or possibly 3 times. Combine the rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered, till the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed, 20 min.
- To arrange a bento box, place 1 1/2 c. of rice in each box. You may use sushi molds and mold the rice into finger foods. Sprinkle the rice with the sesame seeds. Add in the chicken to the bento box with the lime wedges and the green onion. For side dishes in the bento box, arrange an orange wedge, a steamed broccoli floret and some plum tomatoes.
- This recipe yields 2 to 3 servings.
- Comments: You can substitute 6 to 8 ounces of tuna, salmon or possibly yellowtail filets for the chicken. Slice the fish into 1/4-inch-thick bite-size pcs and marinate in teriyaki sauce for a couple of min. Pan-fry the fish in a nonstick frying pan with a little oil till brown on both sides.
- Mirin and sake can be found at Asian markets. Also look for mirin in the Asian aisle of well-stocked supermarkets, and sake at well-stocked liquor stores.
