Ingredients

3 servings

1 lb (500g) boneless and skinless chicken breasts (or thighs, cut into cubes)
3 inches ginger (peeled and grated (extract 2 tablespoons ginger juice))
3 tablespoons Japanese soy sauce
1/3 cup (6 tablespoons) Japanese cooking sake
2 tablespoons Japanese mirin
1 cup potato starch (for coating)
cooking oil (for deep frying)
2 tablespoons Kewpie brand mayonnaise (or regular mayonnaise)
lemon wedges

Steps

Use paper towels to pat dry the chicken pieces and transfer them to a bowl. Add ginger juice, soy sauce, sake, and mirin, then marinate for 30 minutes. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and coat them evenly with potato starch. Shake off any excess starch.
Heat a wok or pot with cooking oil. Once the oil is hot enough for frying, add the chicken pieces and deep-fry them until they turn golden brown. Remove the chicken using a strainer. Serve immediately with Kewpie mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
