Yakitori
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts2 dozen green onions
Marinade:
1/2 cup sake
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon sugar
Short bamboo skewers
Yakitori begins with the marinade:
To prepare the marinade, combine the sake, soy sauce, ginger and sugar in a medium bowl and set aside.
Cut the chicken into 1" cubes, approximately, and add to the marinade. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
In the meantime, trim the green onions and cut them into 1-1/2" pieces.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the liquid for basting. Alternately thread the chicken and green onions onto the skewers. (About three each makes a nice size hors d'oeuvre; you can cover the ends of the skewers with foil so they won't burn.)
Place the skewers on a broiler pan and broil, basting often and turning occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Serve hot.
Makes about 24 appetizers.
