Soy Garlic Chicken

INGREDIENTS:

• Fried Chicken – See Mom's Fried Chicken

GLAZE

• ¼ cup Light soy sauce


• ½ tsp


• Mirin*


• 4 cloves of garlic, minced


• ½ tsp garlic powder


• ½ tsp ginger, minced


• Water


• Honey or Brown sugar (1 tbsp)


• Roux –room temp water (1/4 cup) + cornstarch (1 tsp) | or mix in melted butter and flour


• Optional: roasted sesame seeds, spring onions (for garnish)

*Mirin is basically a kind of rice wine similar to Japanese sake, but with a lower alcohol content. For this recipe, we are going to let the mirin in the mixture simmer to get the alcohol out. What mirin does to this recipe is add a hint of sweetness

PROCEDURE:

1. In a sauce pan, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, garlic powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, water and brown sugar.
2. Place the sauce pan over low heat and let simmer for 5 minutes. You will notice bubbles appearing on the edges of the pan.
3. Once the mixture is reduced and almost all of the water and alcohol are evaporated, incorporate the roux to thicken. Let simmer again in low heat.
4. The texture we are looking for should be like that of a light syrup. One way to test is to dip a spoon and see if the sauce drips too fast when you lift up the spoon.
5. Once the desired viscosity of the mixture is reached, transfer the contents into a microwavable container big enough for both the glaze and the fried chicken pieces. Cover the container with the accompanying top and shake to evenly coat the surface of the chicken.
6. Serve and consume immediately. You can sprinkle some roasted sesame seeds on the glazed chicken and garnish the whole thing with chopped spring onions.
