Authentic Yakitori from Little Tokyo

At Little Tokyo, located across the Makati Twin Cinema arcade in Pasong Tamo, you'll find a number of the most authentic Japanese restaurants in the country. Why...because most of the shops are owned by Japanese and their patrons are mostly Japanese.


Here's a simple dish recipe I like to share with you...Chicken Yakitory.


Slice fillets of boneless chicken breasts and marinade them in rice wine or any white wine. After an hour, put them in skewers along with some sliced onion stalks, asparagus or onions and green pepper and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook them on a griddle or on a charcoal pit for 3 minutes on each side, brush with teriyaki sauce and put aside.


For the teriyaki sauce just boil a cup of light soy, adding 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and some sliced ginger until it reduces to a slightly thick consistency. Serve with a cup of short grain rice, some slices of tomato and some cole slaw.
