Japanese Yakitori Chicken and Garlic Rice ♦ 日本烧鸟串配蒜米炒饭

Yakitori是日本烧鸟串的名字。插在竹枝上看起来很像手风琴一样,漂亮极了。串了蔬菜又串鸡肉,互相交替,然后整个东西都用酱汁来腌。
Yakitori is the name for grilled chicken kabobs in Japan. These are especially pretty when prepared accordion-style on skewers. The vegetables are woven between ribbons of chicken, and everything is brushed with a gingery marinade.

烧鸟串材料: Ingredients for Yakitori Chicken:
米酒 mirin
酱油 soy sauce
sugar
鸡胸肉/无骨鸡肉 boneless chicken
蒜头 garlic clove, pressed (optional)
青葱 green onion, in inch-long pieces (optional)
灯笼椒 Capsicum annuum (optional)
蘑菇 mushroom (optional)
竹枝 bamboo skewers


烧鸟串基本上就是把鸡胸肉串在一起烧。鸡胸肉用米酒、酱油腌过。除了串鸡胸肉,还要串一些蔬菜,像蒜头,灯笼椒,青葱,蘑菇。。。都可以。。。
To make Yakitori, put the chicken on the bamboo skewer. The chicken is merinated by mirin, soy sauce. Other than chicken, you can put some vege, like garlic clove, Capsicum annuum, green onion, mushroom...just put what you like....


这就是烤好的烧鸟串(原本应该是用炭炉,好像烧satay那样。但是我们没有,用锅来干煎。:P)
This is the final look of Yakitori Chicken (the original one is using coal to cook (barbecue), just like satay. But we don't have it, just use a pan to heat them. :P)

蒜米炒饭材料: Ingredients for Garlic rice:
日本隔夜饭(不是在日本隔夜的饭,是日本米煮出来的饭放隔夜)cooked Japanese rice (*left over rice is the best)
洋葱 onion
蒜米 garlic
萝卜 carrot
蘑菇 mushroom
酱油 soy sauce
鸡蛋 eggs



蒜米炒饭其实很简单,跟平时的炒饭一样,只是放比较多的蒜米。。。蛋先炒过然后弄碎。。。然后炒蒜米, 蘑菇,萝卜。。。还有饭。。。
Garlic rice is actually similar as normal fried rice, just that you use more garlics... dry the eggs first and spoilt it...and then fry the garlics, mushroom, carrot....and then the rice...


配起炒饭来就是这个样子啦!看起来很简单,但是很花时间在串鸟串。。。
Here is the really final look!~~ looks easy but spent a lot of time on preparing the yakitori chicken...

谢谢你给的IDEA适合我,有空会试日本烧鸟串。日本米用来炒饭还没试过,但是常会蒜米炒饭再加一点葱就香喷喷啰!

I think this is relative, anyone can cook like us.What you need to have is time, the patience and of course . the sense of taste. That perfection to food tasting. Even a poor student like us can do the dish that we cooked.

我们不是用日本米(其实应该是要用日本米)。。。日本米是珍珠米,短短圆圆黏黏的“饭要粒粒分开”的话,水不要放太多而且最好隔夜。。。:P
久久一次享受一下嘛!而且下厨也是一种乐趣。。。;)
