Chikuzenni
Chikuzenni is a delicious traditional Japanese dish. It is a hearty and flavorful stew made with various ingredients such as chicken, vegetables (like bamboo shoots, carrots, and mushrooms), and soy-based seasonings.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken thighs boneless cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 pound mixed vegetables (bamboo shoots, carrots, mushrooms, etc.), sliced
- 4 cups dashi broth (or substitute with chicken or vegetable broth)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 green onion chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides.
- Add the sliced vegetables, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the pot. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- In a separate bowl, mix the dashi broth, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar until well combined. Pour the mixture into the pot with the chicken and vegetables.
- Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Taste the Chikuzenni and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more soy sauce or sugar according to your preference.
- Once the dish is ready, serve it hot in bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions for an extra touch of freshness.
- Enjoy with steamed rice or on its own.
