3 pounds chicken parts of your choice, bone in, skin on
2-1/2 cups sake, divided
1/2 cup soy sauce, regular or low sodium
1/2 cup mirin
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
6 thin slices fresh ginger
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2-1/2 tablespoons sake
2 tablespoons soy sauce, regular or low sodium
1 tablespoons chinkiang vinegar (available at Asian markets)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 scallion, minced, plus extra for garnish
1/2 tablespoon ginger, minced or grated
sesame chili oil, to taste
A large bowl, a medium bowl, a 1 gallon zipper style bag.
WMF Vitalis steamer or Silit ecompact steamer
A wisk (which you'll get as a free gift if you order the WMF steamer)
Sage cutting board
6" or 8" chef's knife
1 Place chicken parts into 1 gallon zipper style plastic bag. In a large bowl, wisk together, 2 cups sake, soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, minced ginger, and garlic. Pour into the bag with the chicken. Press out excess air and seal the bag. Refrigerate 24 hours, turning occasionally.
2 The next day, when you are ready to cook, add the chopped onion and sliced ginger to your WMF or Silit steamer. Add 2 cups of water and the remaining 1/2 cup of sake. Place the steamer rack into the steamer and lay out the chicken parts in one layer, spacing as allowed. Discard marinade and bag. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn down heat to low, just enough to maintain a steamer temperature of 180-200 degrees. Steam for approximately 1 hour. Using a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of the chicken, it should be 180 degrees.
3 While the chicken is steaming, make the dipping sauce. Wisk together all the ingredients for the sauce except the sesame oil. Add the sesame chili oil a few drops at a time until you achieve your desired taste.
4 Arrange on plates or a platter and garnish with sliced scallions. Divide dipping sauce into individual bowls. Enjoy and Bon Appétit!

1 pound shirataki noodles (or 1/4 pound of your favorite dry noodle)
2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, diced
1 quart chicken broth
2 carrots, julienned
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
1/2 tablespoon curry powder
pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
chopped cilatro
3 green onion, sliced
2.5 to 3 quart saucepan or casserole or cocotte. See WMF, Silit, Cristel, Staub, or Bourgeat.
Sage cutting board
6" or 8" chef's knife
1. Drain shirataki noodles in a strainer in the sink and rinse thoroughly with cold running water. Set aside to drain.
2. Add all ingredients except cilantro and green onion to pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and simmer covered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Squeeze noodles in strainer to drain additional liquid. Add to pot and simmer an additional 5 minutes to heat noodles. (If using a dry noodle, add it now and cook according to the package instructions)
4. Place into bowls using tongs, ladle a small amount of the broth over, and garnish with cilantro and green onion.
VARIATION: You can add a can of coconut milk when preparing the broth to give it a little creamier texture, but we found it didn't really add much.....except cost.
