Chicken And Egg Salad

Spicy Japanese-style barbecued chicken skewers.
Directions for: Chicken Yakitori

Ingredients

cup pureed daikon radish

cup mirin

cup sake

2 Tbsp canola oil

2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

Few dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco, plus more for serving

2 lb(s) boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 Tbsp canola oil

4 Tbsp rice vinegar

2 Tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp lime juice

2 tsp sugar

8 oz rice noodles, cooked according to directions, shocked in cold water and drained well

8 oz mizuna

Directions

1. Whisk together the radish puree, mirin, sake, oil, soy and hot sauce in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 and up to 8 hours.

2. Preheat a charcoal grill or kamado-style ceramic charcoal cooker for direct grilling over high heat.

3. Using 2 skewers for each chicken thigh, thread the edges of the meat onto the skewers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until charred and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board.

4. Whisk together the oil, rice vinegar, soy, lime juice and sugar in a large bowl and season with pepper. Pour some over the mizuna, toss to coat and mound in a large shallow serving bowl. Toss the noodles with the remaining dressing and mound in the center of the mizuna.

5. Cut the chicken thighs in half down the middle between the skewers to make kebabs. Arrange the skewers spoke-like around the mizuna, chicken toward the center, drizzle with additional hot sauce and serve.
