【Materials】 (For 2 people)
Kujo green onion…1 stalk (50 grams)
Chicken tenderloin…2 pieces
Salted kelp…1 tablespoon
Mirin…1 teaspoon
Soy sauce…1 teaspoon
Rice vinegar…½ spoon
Sesame oil…1 teaspoon
Roasted sesame seeds (white)…Appropriate amount

【How to make】
① Boil water in a pot, and when it boils, add the chicken fillets and boil for 3-4 minutes, then turn off the heat and cook in the residual heat. Once cooled, tear them apart with your hands.
② Thinly slice the Kujo leek diagonally. Pour boiling water over them to quickly blanch, leaving them crisp.
③ Put ①, ②, salted kelp, mirin, soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil in a bowl. Gently mix everything together and leave for about 5 minutes to let the flavors blend.
④ Place on a plate and sprinkle with white sesame seeds.
【Points】
This dish makes the most of the umami of the kelp and gives the Kujo leek and chicken fillets a refreshing and delicious finish. It also makes a great Japanese appetizer or snack.
