Method

  1. Mix the miso, soy, 2 tsp of the sugar, 1 tsp of the sesame oil and 1 tbsp of the vinegar in a bowl and toss with the chicken. Leave for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat the rest of the sugar with the vinegar until dissolved, cool, then toss with the veg.
  3. Heat the grill to hot. Cook the chicken turning regularly, until sticky, glazed and cooked though, about 10 minutes. Toss the cooked rice with the rest of the sesame oil then serve with the chicken and salad.

Good recipe but I tweeked it a bit for the ingredients I had. I used pork steaks and added a 1/2" grated ginger opted to marinate for an hour or so. Only thing I would change next time is the amount of sugar in the salad, too sweet for me.

I'm not a big fan of thighs.. i presume the recipe will work the same with a breast fillet? Has anyone tried this?

Made exactly as instructions (except I used Thai sticky rice). Really really tasty. Highly recommend.

Mmmm! Just cooked this for dinner tonight and it's absolutely delicious. The flavours are lovely. Made it with chicken dumplings so it was a filling evening meal for us.

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

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!
