Kanpeki with chicken
4 servings
60 minutes
Kanpeki with chicken is a harmony of flavors on one plate, blending Asian culinary traditions with a European touch. Tender chicken fillet soaked in thick teriyaki sauce acquires a rich sweet-salty taste that perfectly complements aromatic mushrooms. Classic Japanese rice adds softness and lightness to the dish, while fresh cucumber provides a crunchy texture and pleasant coolness. Fried sesame highlights the Eastern character of the dish, adding nutty notes. Kanpeki is not just dinner but a small gastronomic journey where each ingredient plays its role in creating a balanced and exquisite flavor.
