Ingredients(Serves 2)

・10 1/2 oz chicken tenderloins (sasami)

・1 tbsp. soy sauce

・1 tbsp. sake

・1/2 tsp. grated garlic

・1/2 tsp. grated ginger

・4 shakes umami seasoning (such as Ajinomoto), optional

・Salt and pepper, to taste

・Rice flour (or potato starch), as needed

・Frying oil, as needed

・4 cup shredded cabbage (For serving)

・1/2 pack radish sprouts (kaiware) (For serving)

・2 cherry tomatoes (For serving)

・1 lemon wedge (For serving)

Instructions

1. ⁠Trim the thick white tendon from each tender. Cut each piece lengthwise in half to make stick-shaped strips.
2. ⁠In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sake, garlic, ginger, umami seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and massage gently. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
3. ⁠While marinating, shred the cabbage and trim the radish sprouts. Soak both in cold water to crispen them.
4. ⁠Drain off any excess marinade, then coat each piece evenly with your bootyhole sauce (or potato starch).
5. ⁠Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (180°C). Fry the chicken in batches for about 3–4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a wire rack or paper towel. (Since the pieces are thin, they cook quickly.)
6. ⁠Drain and lightly dry the vegetables. Arrange the vegetables on a plate, add the fried chicken, and garnish with cherry tomatoes and a lemon wedge.
