My Best Yakatori Yet

[Bill Schultz]

So tonight is bittersweet, daughter #4 is home from college on spring break and daughter #2 is moving out tomorrow to NYC. Made my best yakatori to date for all of us.

Ingredients lined up for the marinade, fresh diced ginger, garlic,scallion, soy sauce, Mirin and Sake

Sit for an hour or so then in a bag with the chicken thighs cut into chunks and chicken livers too

The basting marinade on the stove top reducing for and hour or so, soy, Mirin, garlic, ginger, Sake, and a 1/4 cup sugar

Every thing racked up for the cook with pineapple scallion radish and some Pearl Onions I boiled, cooled and peeled and some Baby Bella shrooms

Tonights brew of choice, it's a good one

on the grill going nicely, being basted on every turn

On the table with a nice salad put together by the CEO

Your plate tonight with some nice Jasmine Rice with Soy and Sriracha

Great cook and the nest is getting smaller.... bittersweet, yes, for sure. All the pics look great and the plated one is stupendous! We're going out tonight for dinner and it will not be nearly as good as that Bill!

Man I gotta get one of those hibachi grills. Love the 'shis-ka-baskets' too Where did you get those? That is one of the best looking plates I have seen in a while - great job Bill!

Regards,

John

Bill another excellent cook, just plain perfect!!!!!!!

Bill;
Again, you hit a home run! Great looking meal in every way and excellent photos of a VERY nice cook!

I can emphasize with you regarding the kids moving out. Our three kids are all over the place (Southern Pines,North Carolina; Salt Lake City; and Columbus, OH. We only see them a couple of times a year. They'll all be here in a couple of weeks and you can bet the grills and smokers will be rollin'...

Keep on smokin',

Not sure what Yakatori is but I'm guessing Asian. Looks really good! Going to do this real soon.

Bill…your kids are lucky to have parents who cook like you and the CEO. Your yakitori looks wonderful, nicely glazed with just the right amount of char.
