Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken drumsticks (skin removed and cut into small pieces)
1 scallion (white part only, cut into very thin slices)
1/2 teaspoon miso paste
1 teaspoon sake
Yakiniku no tare (for dipping)
Method:
Marinate the chicken meat with sake, miso paste, and chopped scallions for 30 minutes.
Place a portable grill rack on top of the stove. Turn the heat to low and place the chicken meat on top. Make sure your grill rack has small “openings” so the meat doesn’t fall through it. Cook the meat until slightly charred and then turn over to the other side.
Transfer the cooked meat to a plate and dip with some yakiniku no tare.
Cook’s Note:
You can grill kobe beef slices, beef short ribs, flank steak, seafood (shrimp, squid, scallop), mushrooms, and vegetables using the same method. They all taste great.

Yakitori (Japanese Grilled Skewered Chicken)
One of my favorite things to do on the weekends is having dinner with good friends at a Japanese izakaya or yakitori restaurant. The casual gastro-pub settings and the scrumptious fares offered at these establishments have had me hooked since my first trip to Tokyo many years ago. My favorite items at izakaya are none other than the mouthwatering, hot-off-the-grill…

Chawanmushi Recipe (Japanese Steamed Egg Custard/茶碗蒸し)
This is a special post to my readers who have requested for a chawanmushi recipe. Chawanmushi or steamed egg custard (茶碗蒸し) is a popular Japanese dish, one that is mostly ordered as an appetizer at Japanese restaurants. From the name of this dish in Kanji 茶碗蒸, I believe chawanmushi is originally a Chinese dish, but has since been perfected by…

Beef Teriyaki
Recently, I am trying to incorporate iron-rich foods into my diet. This beef teriyaki is one of the simple beef dishes that I’ve made. There is really no need to introduce teriyaki as this is probably one of the most well-known imports from Japanese cuisine, other than sushi and tempura. (Previously, My Cooking Hut shared her chicken teriyaki recipe on…

Looks SO good!
Alta, yes, thanks.
It looks really good, but really not like the yakiniku I am used to.
Usually, the meat is very finely sliced pieces of beef (steack, tongue,…) and/or pork, not that much chicken (as you write in your notes). And veggies, as you mention, we are talking about asian food after all! They are sometimes marinated, but sometimes they leave at it is. The grill, though, is really like the one they give you.
Sauces can range from the teriyaki one (probably a mix of soy sauce, sugar, mirin and sake, although I tend to buy it as well :-) ) to ponzu and simple soy sauce.
The problem is, not all of us are lucky enough to have a gas stove, and it does not look like it will work on vitroceramic :-(
I use the miso marinating on pork meat I am going to freeze. Then you simply unfreeze it, cook it and it’s delicious.
Thanks.
Yes, yakinuku is mostly for beef, but I am not much a red meat eater. Actually, in my favorite yakiniku restaurant, they serve all sorts of stuff: beef, chicken, seafood, and vegetables. For the marinate, it’s either marinate with shio (salt) or tare (sauce). http://www.manpuku.us.

Love your blog, especially all the photos. I live in Irvine also, do you want a cooking buddy?
Hi Melody, thanks for your note. You live in Irvine, cool. Cooking sounds fun. :)
Good stuff, but this is more like Yakitori than Yakiniku…but delicious none the less!
Keep up the great blogging!
Yakitori is in skewers and they don’t use yakiniku sauce for dipping. This is how yakiniku is, well, at least the restaurants I have been to, except the professional set up.
I had this when I was in Japan and it was so incredible tasty, I wanted it every day for the rest of my life =)
Yes, what’s not to love about yakiniku and meat grilled over fire and dipped with a umami sauce?
I used to play masak-masak too when I was young. What I love cooking is sausages. ^^
Your cooking looks professional from your masak-masak experience.
Hi RM,
What I usually do with my Yakiniku Tare is putting a ratio of 1:1 mirin and shoyu. Add some crushed garlic and some gochujang *the spicy korean miso* :D
Made this for dinner tonight. very nice! thanks for the idea
Chris, glad you love it. :)
I found a copy of this entry here.

Thought you might like to know.
BTW, I am trying this out right now, looks very good.
Sorry to be pedantic but I believe that Yaki Niku is actually Korean. I live in Japan and the Japanese always refer to it as “Korean BBQ”. I could be wrong but I’m sure the Koreans have their own word for this style BBQ and perhaps it would be better to this recipe in the Korean section of the website. Again sorry if this is wrong!
Thanks for telling me. Good to know.
