Kushi Dori

Kushi Dori is a delectable Japanese BBQ dish featuring tender chicken skewers marinated in a flavorful soy sauce blend, grilled to perfection. This Kosher version ensures a delightful experience for all, combining umami-rich flavors with a hint of sweetness.

Ingredients

• Chicken thigh - 300 grams, boneless and skinless
• Soy sauce (Kosher) - 60 ml
• Mirin (Kosher) - 30 ml
• Sake (Kosher) - 30 ml
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon (15 grams)
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
2. Cut the chicken thighs into 2.5 cm cubes and add them to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

6. Once cooked, remove from the grill and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
