Thai-Japanese Fusion Chicken Thigh Delight

Infused with a delightful blend of Thai and Japanese seasonings, it offers the best of both worlds.

I have a passion for both Thai and Japanese cuisine, so I often experiment by combining Thai and Japanese seasonings in my cooking. The result is a delightful blend of flavors that I find absolutely delicious. This recipe has hints of teriyaki chicken flavor infused with the aromatic essence of Thai basil. It’s simple to prepare – just marinate the chicken, stir-fry with your favorite vegetables, and voila! The addition of ginger and garlic adds an extra layer of yumminess. I hope you enjoy this harmonious fusion of flavors as much as I do!

Ingredients:

Chicken, 630g, marinated with 1 tablespoon each of soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce koji

The amount of seasoning varies depending on the quantity of vegetables added. Start with one tablespoon of each initially, then adjust the flavor according to your preference.

Instructions:

  1. Place garlic, ginger, and chili pepper in a granite mortar and pestle, then crush them.
  2. Cut your preferred vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Trim the fat off the chicken thighs and lightly pound both sides with a knife. Cut them into small chunks, then marinate with hoisin sauce or oyster sauce, soy sauce, sake, sugar, mirin, and optional soy sauce koji or miso. If you’re interested in Koji (fermented food), here are the benefits of KOJI.
  4. Heat oil in a wok or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add grated ginger, garlic, chili pepper and chicken, then stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan.
  5. In the same pan, add more oil if needed and stir-fry the vegetables. Season with hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sugar, mirin, adjusting the amounts to taste. Once lightly mixed, add the cooked chicken back into the pan and continue stir-frying until the vegetables and chicken are cooked through. Once everything is cooked, turn off the heat, add basil, and mix well to finish.
  6. Optionally, serve with a fried egg for extra flavor.
