This is one of the easiest chicken recipes. Salty Shallot Sauce with sesame oil flavour goes so well with Sautéed Chicken pieces. Sautéed Chicken with Salty Shallot Sauce can be a main dish or served as nibbles with drinks.
Prep Time does not include the time to get meat off chicken neck bones.
- 300g/0.7lb chicken neck meat (note 1)
- ½ tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp sake
- 1 tsp mirin
- ½ tsp dashi seasoning/granular dashi stock (note 2)
- 1 tbsp water (note 2)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tbsp sesame oil
- ¼ tsp grated ginger
- ½ - ⅔ cup finely chopped shallots/scallions
-
Add oil to a frying pan and heat over medium high heat.
-
Add the meat to the pan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes (note 3) until both sides are slightly browned. Transfer to a serving plate.
-
Add the Shallot Sauce ingredients (excluding sesame oil, ginger and shallots) to the frying pan and bring it to a boil.
-
When the sauce is condensed to about half, add ginger and shallots, then sesame oil. Mix well and turn the heat off.
-
Pour the sauce over the meat and serve.
1. I could not find chicken neck meat sold at the chicken shop nearby, so I bought 1kg/2.2lb of chicken neck bones and got 325g/7.2lb neck meat out of it. Please see the step-by-step photos in my post and see how I removed some meat off a chicken neck.
Alternatively, you could use chicken thigh fillet cut into short thin strips. Chicken breast fillet is OK too, but it won’t be as juicy as thigh fillet and you might need a bit more oil to cook the meat.
2. Please refer to Home Style Japanese Dashi Stock for a sample granular dashi powder.
Instead of dashi powder, you can use chicken stock powder.
3. If you are using chicken thigh or breast fillets, you might need to cook a bit longer depending on the size of the meat.
