Chicken Steak ala Akari Papa
Ingredients:
- 200 grams chicken thigh
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 kaffir lime leaves (optional, original recipe does not include)
- 1 small packet of butter (hotel-style butter)
For the Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce (original recipe calls for Japanese soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon Japanese cooking wine (optional, original recipe does not include)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken thighs and pat them dry with a paper towel. Squeeze the kaffir lime leaves over the chicken if using. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to marinate for a few minutes.
-
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, granulated sugar, water, and Japanese cooking wine if using. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
-
Cook the Chicken: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the chicken thighs to the pan. Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes.
-
Flip the Chicken: After 2 minutes, flip the chicken thighs over and cover the pan again. Cook for another 2 minutes.
-
Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken thighs. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Flip the chicken again and pour any remaining sauce over the top. Cover and cook for another 2 minutes.
-
Finish and Serve: Turn off the heat and let the chicken rest in the pan for about 5 minutes. If there is any sauce left in the pan, you can simmer it until it thickens slightly. Drizzle the thickened sauce over the chicken before serving.
