Chicken Yakitori

Made these lovely chicken yakitori as wanted to make something from scratch that isnt too time consuming nor difficult and yet its something that the kids will love.

Serving it on a rainy evening with a bowl of hot homemade yong tau foo soup! Gotten the kids’s fav handmade fishballs from cold storage and some other ingredients. Soup was totally sweet and delicious! 

The chicken were nicely cooked and not dried up at all! Even the non-chicken leg eater also commented that it is nice! Even nicer than Tori Q in my sense and he agreed when I asked! 🙊🙊🙊

Try it! Its simple and easy to prepare! Only thing I hate is thar I fear poking the ingredients thru the skewers!! Phobia of poking my fingers. 😂😂

This is the yakitori sauce that I used! So flavourful as it enhance the taste of the skewers! Yummy ❤️

BKK inspired Pork Satay

 

Saw a lot of groupbuys lately on these bkk moopings. Been craving to have some as missed those girly trips to BKK. 

Saw a video on how to skewer the meat on the sticks and decided to marinate my own flavours as I prefer the natural sweetness from the meat rather than from adding sugar. After skewer them, they are ready to be freeze! 

They need to be pan grill from frozen to keep the shape. Surprisingly, the meat slices really ‘sticks’ together well! Am so impressed!! I brushed honey when they are about 70% cooked, flipping them occassionally if not they will charred too fast. Important tips is to keep really low low hear and flip frequent enough. 

It is soft and juicy. But if I compared with the BKK version, theirs much sweeter and a bit more juicier. Perhaps I need to add some cornflour and also a bit of honey in the marinate too. Personally I may omit the dark & light soy sauce next round as I feel its slightly on the salty side. Other than that, the adults enjoyed it very much. Kids was 50-50 towards the mooping. I am planning to attempt again with the thai meat marinate that I got from BKK.
