The Yakitori Challenge

[JimK]

There have been many Yakitori cooks this week. Are you familiar with the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge? I'm starting the Yakitori Challenge. Simply cook yakitori chicken and post pics. Then, call out 2 TVWBB members to do the same. Let's see how far this goes - if anywhere.

I nominate Barb D and John Solak.

Let's see some Yakitori!

Edit: Here is the recipe from our friend in Prague:

This is great I all ready pulled up some recipes for Yakitori and James Lake sent me his and I was going to do it about the middle of the week, but seeing Jim picked Barb to do the challenge I'm going to give the recipes to her and sit back and enjoy the fun.
Barb will be responding shortly

 

[Barb D]

Ok Jim I'm in and I'll give it my best shot!!!

 

[John Solak]

I'll give it a shot but its gonna be a few days before I get to it.

 

[Paulie O]

Good luck lads have fun!

 

[Barb D]

Don't worry John it will be a few days before I can get to this. Lots of other things going on right now but looking forward to it. Barb

 

[Tony R]

Very cool idea.

 

[George L]

Indeed, it is a nifty idea!

 

[JimK]

Obviously, we have a finite number of 'regulars' around here, So this won't go on too long. But when the Yakitori action slows, we can start something else. Hopefully, it'll be a fun way to get ourselves (and each other) to try things that might end up just sitting on the 'to do' list.

 

[Todd Phillips]

Ahhh,good challage! I'm in!

 

[Mildo]

Great idea my friend!Thank you Jim.
Look also at Yakitori from Bill for inspiration

for me this is the best Yaki what I have seen here. Very authentic and beautiful.

Here is my response to the challenge.

Started with my sauce for chicken. Soy sauce, Sake, Mirin, sugar, fresh ginger and garlic, sesame oil. Bring to simmer, cook 7 minutes. Reserved 2 Tbsp. for serving. Cool and add the rest to 1 pound chicken thighs cut into 1 inch strips marinade for 3-4 hours. Then put on skewers with green onions and ready for grilling. Cook direct for about 20 minutes.

Veggies were broccoli, bok choy, bean sprouts, snow peas, zucchini and some Yakitori sauce, S & P and whole bunch of minced garlic, packaged in tin foil on grill for 20 minutes.

Hokkien noodles warmed with Yoshidas and Hot Sauce.

Served with veggies and Yakitori chicken along with Sapporo Japanese beer and Blue Fin chardonnay. The combination of flavors was amazing and will be doing again.

My choice for the next two challengers are.

Dwain Pannell

Cliff Bartlett

Good luck guys!

 

[Tony R]

[James Lake]

GREAT looking dinner wish I could have been there for that one! Way to accept the challenge.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Way to go, Barb. Looks absolutely delicious! It's tough following all of you who have already done this, including those who posted it before the challenge started, but I'll give it a shot.

 

[Dwain Pannell]

Great lookin Yakitori Barb. I accept the challenge and will get my act together for a post soon.

Excellent Barb!!!! What a great post!

 

[JimK]

Looks great Barb! I really like the sides, and the cooking of the marinade. I'm going to try these.

Thanks for accepting the challenge! Let's see what Dwain and Cliff do. John Solak, Yak it up!
