Chicken Breast (Before Steaming)

I used a boneless & skinless chicken breast. As it is uneven in thickness, I made deep slits on the thicker parts without cutting all the way through. Then I placed the chicken on a few slices of ginger, drizzle a spoon of sake and sprinkle some salt over the chicken.

Chicken Steaming Liquid

As I love a light-weight creamy sauce, I am using Japanese sesame sauce (goma dare だれごま) as the base and not on its own. The goma sauce was combined with low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil and a few spoons of steamed chicken liquid.

  1. So appetizing! I like dressings made with sesame or peanut sauce.

  2. 天啊!I also made something similar (just have not posted yet). A little sesame oil goes a long way. Yumm!
