Juicy Steamed Chicken in 5 min

April and May are my favorite season, so I am enjoying this weather with mountain hiking. Our city have a beautiful mountain hiking course in 5 min from my house.
It take 2 hours with my pace and from top of the mountain, I can see incredible panorama view. I always call to my son in NY from the place for sharing pleasant breeze.

Today, I will show how to make "Juicy steamed chicken in 5 min"

6oz chicken breast.. Remove excess fat and pierce it with a fork to make several holes.
1 knob ginger (thin slices), 1 leaf green onion (cut into half), 2 Tbsp sake.

Condiment.. 1 leaf green onion (edge cut)
Sauce.... 1 Tbsp Mayonnaise + 1 Tbsp Ponzu sauce (mix well)

Direction..Place the green onion, ginger and chicken in this order on a plate
~ Apply the sake all over the chicken and softly wrap it ~cook for 2 min in
microwave oven ~ take it out once ~ Turn the chicken over and cover again
~ cook for 2 min ~ done! move the chicken to your favorite plate and enjoy with the sauce and condiment.

Quick and easy dish, also you can make a salad or sandwich with this chicken.

See you soon.

Birthday party

I have graduate school students as my friends. They wanted to make a birthday party for their English professor in my home.

So I cooked brown rice sushi and all in one pot dish for 20 young students.
I love young people and I know they are always hungry.
We had pleasant time together, even their professor and me met at first time.

I will show you her "Thank you card" to me here.

Dear Keiko

After meeting you, and tasting your delicious food, I understand my students decision.
You are,without a doubt, one of the kindest, most generous and most spontaneous people I have ever met.
Thank you for sharing your home, your food, and your immediate love with me.

Your overwhelming generosity will last in my memory as one of the best birthday gifts I have ever received.
I am so glad to have met you and I look forward to our next opportunity to meet.

Fondly.

I love people, delicious food and wine.
These are my life with appreciation.


See you soon.
