\"Yakitori<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I can't remember the first time I tried yakitori chicken, I think it might have been some kind of Japanese Food Mall booth here in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's probably not much of a surprise that I love Japanese food. You will a couple of Japanese inspired dishes on here such as my delicious and authentic tasting Chicken Katsu Curry<\/a> <\/strong>and this Yakitori Chicken and Noodles.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yakitori translates to Grilled Chicken, but it is the unique marinade that gives the delicious taste. However no two marinades are the same, they can vary slightly in ingredients and methods. Traditionally Yakitori combines Sake - a Japanese fermented rice Alcoholic drink and Mirin - similar to Sake but is a non-alcoholic Rice Wine with much higher sugar content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For these Yakitori Chicken Skewers -  I make a simple marinade using brown sugar, tamari (Japanese soy sauce) and rice wine vinegar.  I know you might be tempted to swap the brown sugar for sweetener, but trust me, you won't get the same syrup marinade, that coats the chicken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
