This is an incredibly flavorful homemade chicken dish marinated mainly with ginger and soy sauce.
As you know, ginger is extremely healthy.
It has Cineol (known generally as Eucalyptol), which is a scent ingredient. Cineol increases our appetite and makes our body recover from fatigue. Because of this, I eat ginger a lot in the summer time.
When you cook ginger, Gingerol, which is flavor ingredient, changes chemically to Shogaol. This warms up our body and increases our metabolism. So I also eat ginger in winter time. I use ginger in my meals any time to be healthier!!
In this recipe I use chicken, but you can use pork instead of chicken if you prefer. If you use pork just make sure it is sliced thinly.
Also, you can use white wine as a substitute for cooking Sake. When you use cooking Sake, however, you get more wonderful Japanese flavor.
Enjoy your new healthy dish!!

I am so happy to hear that!! In Japan we use pork for this recipe but my husband doesn’t eat pork so I cook with chicken. And I found this is so tasty and flavorful 🙂

I think I’ll end up making it with pork and with chicken. That way I have two new recipes!

Great!! When you use pork, you might want to slice pork thinly such as 0.1~0.2 inch-slices so that you can cook and macerate pork easily for a short time comparatively.
