| Method | |
| 1 | Combine sake, soy sauce, mirin, sugar and ginger in a medium saucepan; place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. |
| 2 | Combine the chicken and half the sake mixture in a bowl. Season with ground white pepper. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to marinate. |
| 3 | Meanwhile, to make the salad, combine the Chinese leaf, carrot and sesame seeds in a bowl. Combine the sesame paste and soy sauce in a jug and drizzle over salad. Gently toss with the soy beans to combine. |
| 4 | Thread the chicken pieces and leek alternately onto the skewers. |
| 5 | Preheat a grill on high. Place chicken skewers on an oven tray. Cook under grill, turning occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until brown all over and cooked through. |
| Serving | |
| Divide salad among serving plates. Serve with skewers, remaining sauce and steamed rice if desired. Grate a little of the lime over the dish. You can also add a little coriander, but don't tell any of your Japanese friends! |

| Another option if you want to lower your carbs intake | |
| Instead of the rice (which is optional anyway), prepare a packet of Miso soup mix and add a little chilli or lots of black pepper to taste. Drop the cabbage into the soup for about 30 seconds – you want it blanched and still crispy but not raw. Using a slotted spoon take the cabbage out and pile it into the bottom of your bowl, arranging the other ingredients on top of it. Squeeze a little Yuzu juice over the top (not too much – we're watching our acid levels) and again a grating of the skin. I'd definitely scatter a little coriander over the resulting broth and if you like stronger tastes and a pan-asian feel add some toasted sesame seeds and cashew nuts. Feeling brave? Add a little thinly sliced, de-seeded chilli. | |
