    a fab dinner, I marinated the chicken for 2 hours instead of 15mins. Will be making this one again! I know some of the ingredients re difficult to get but any japanese section in a supermarket should have them!

    This was absolutely delicious, quick and didn't generate too much washing up. Perfect for a mid-week supper.
