"The Canuck Teriyaki Chicken Pcs. with Veggie and Ramen Makes for a Sukiyaki Dinner... !"
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (3 lbs.) in pieces
3/4 c brown sugar
2/3 c honey/corn syrup (1:1)
1/4 c maple syrup
2 tblsp powdered ginger
3/4 c light soy sauce
1/3 c cidre vinegar
2 tsp white pepper
1/3 c cooking oil
Veggies & Noodle Ingredients:
1 c carrots, julienned
1 c broccoli spears, julienned
1 c sweet potato, julienned
4 pckgs ramen noodles.
Methods:
In a med. sauce pan pour in the liquid ingredients and dissolve the solids over MED heat until it brings to a slight boil and slightly thickens to a baste or sauce for the chicken and veggie/noodle mix.
Desired is a deep golden brown colour from the caramelized teriyaki sauce ingredients. The technique is to bake the chicken in 175 deg C oven for 45 mins. and then under the broiler with basting to caramelize the coating.
Prep all the veggies beforehand. The ramen and veggies of julienned carrots, broccoli spears and sweet potato (take care to do this al dente without mushing) are also baked in the same method and basted to caramelization under the broiler and served on the side for dinner with either ramen noodles, blanched and the sauteed in oiled sauce saved from the chicken baste or boiled brown (safe for dietetic diabetics).
(Optional: Separately prepare a portion of teriyaki sauce 2 c worth and proceed to take the chicken pieces in a freezer bag 2-3 a piece and place in enough sauce to cover and shake around either during the day for dinner or overnite, turning in a large ceramic or stainless steel bowl and bagged pieces.)
