Yakitori is another popular Japanese dish which looks and tastes incredible. Chicken and spring onion are skewered, glazed with a sweet Yakatori sauce and then grilled for a mouth-watering meal.<br \/>\nTraditionally Yakitori (Japanese for \u201cgrilled chicken\u201d) can be made using different cuts of chicken such as chicken thigh and wing. However, we have used chicken breast as this is a leaner cut of meat which makes the recipe lower in fat.<br \/>\nIn our recipe we\u2019ve also paired the Yakitori with a delicious Soba Noodle Salad to give you a balance of protein and carbs to refuel after your workouts!<\/p>\n<h3>Ingredients (serves 2):<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>200g chicken breast, diced<\/li>\n<li>4 tbsp yakitori sauce<\/li>\n<li>2 spring onions, cut into chunks<\/li>\n<li>Skewers (we use bamboo)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Soba noodle salad:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>100g soba noodles<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tbsp sesame seeds<\/li>\n<li>1 carrot, grated<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd red pepper, sliced<\/li>\n<li>1 spring onion, diced<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp sesame oil<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp soy sauce<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tbsp vegetable oil<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp honey<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of chilli flakes<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp crushed peanuts<\/li>\n<li>Small handful of coriander<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Method:<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re using bamboo skewers like us, soak them in a bowl of water to help stop them from burning when you cook the chicken.<br \/>\nAdd raw diced chicken and spring onion alternatively onto skewers.<br \/>\nHeat a griddle pan or BBQ to a medium heat.<br \/>\nPlace skewers into the pan and brush with the yakitori sauce.<br \/>\nKeep turning the chicken skewers every minute for 10 &#8211; 12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Brushing with sauce constantly so it is soaked up by the meat.<br \/>\nWhilst the chicken is cooking, make up the soba noodle salad.<br \/>\nAdd vegetable oil, sesame oil, soy sauce and honey to a pan with a pinch of chilli flakes and simmer until the sauce thickens and all ingredients are mixed well.<br \/>\nHeat a pan of boiling water and add the soba noodles, cooking to package instructions, then drain and mix with the sauce.<br \/>\nMix together noodles with carrots, coriander, red pepper, spring onion and sesame seeds then top with crushed peanuts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick Tip:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want to try and make your own yakitori sauce you will need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>50ml soy sauce<\/li>\n<li>50ml mirin<\/li>\n<li>25ml sake<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp brown sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">____<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">PureGym wishes you a lot of fun cooking and a good appetite!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">____<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For more healthy recipe ideas, check out the recipe section of our <a href=\"\/en\/blog\">blog<\/a> which is packed full of \u00a0nutritious and most importantly tasty meals to help you reach your goals!<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You need to try this recipe!
