Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sake, mirin, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken pieces and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare for Frying

    After marinating, remove the chicken from the marinade and allow excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in cornstarch until well coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pan or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 170°C (340°F). Make sure there is enough oil to fully submerge the chicken pieces.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Don

    In bowls, place a serving of cooked rice. Top with fried chicken, drizzle with additional soy sauce if desired, and garnish with shredded seaweed, sliced green onions, and beni shoga.
