Teriyaki Chicken Rumaki Food

RUMAKI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, canola oil, sesame oil, reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, black pepper, garlic and grated ginger in a bowl. Add the water chestnuts and marinate for 2 hours at room temperature.
• Cut the pineapple chunks in half and set aside. Cut the bacon strips in half and set aside. Cut the chicken livers into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside.
• To assemble: Lay out a half strip of bacon. Put a slice of pineapple at one end, topped by a slice of water chestnut and a piece of chicken liver. Roll up the bacon and seal with a toothpick. Repeat until all the ingredients are used.
• Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan and brush with the marinade. Bake, brushing with marinade every 10 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the livers are just cooked but still slightly pink, 35 to 40 minutes. The last 10 minutes, brush with the marinade and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.

RUMAKI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together teriyaki sauce, garlic and ginger root. Place chicken livers and water chestnuts in the mixture. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Wrap each half slice of bacon around one chicken liver half and a slice of water chestnut. Secure by skewering with small skewers or toothpicks.
• Carefully lower skewered wraps into the hot oil in small batches. Deep fry 3 to 4 minutes, or until bacon is evenly brown and of desired crispness. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.

RUMAKI TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Stir together the teriyaki sauce and garlic in a medium bowl, then add the livers and water chestnuts. Toss to coat. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Soak 24 toothpicks in cold water for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the boiler. Remove the livers and water chestnuts from the marinade and discard the marinade. Lay 1 bacon half on a cutting board and place 1 piece of liver and 1 water chestnut in the center. Fold one side of the bacon over them, and thread a toothpick through the bacon, then the chestnut and liver. Wrap the remaining bacon edge around this parcel and secure on the toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 24 rumaki.
• Broil the rumaki on a rack set over a baking sheet (covered with aluminum foil for easy clean up) 2 inches from the heat for 4 minutes. Flip them over and broil for 2 minutes more. Brush the rumaki with additional teriyaki sauce and return to the broiler for 2 more minutes. Place on a serving tray and serve immediately.

CHICKEN SCALLION RUMAKI AND PINEAPPLE RUMAKI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and then set a rack on top. Lightly oil the rack.
• Toss the chicken and scallions with the soy sauce, sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl; let stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Meanwhile, wrap each pineapple chunk in a half slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Arrange them on the rack set in the baking sheet.
• Wrap each piece of chicken and 2 pieces of scallion with the remaining bacon, securing each with a toothpick and arranging on the rack.
• Bake the chicken and pineapple rumaki until the bacon is crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve the rumaki on a platter, sprinkled with the sesame seeds.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN RUMAKI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Cut chicken into twenty-four 1 ½-inch pieces. Wrap bacon around chicken pieces. Thread a 4- to 6-inch skewer with a bacon-wrapped chicken piece, a green onion piece, and a sweet pepper strip. Repeat 23 more times. Place in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan.

CHICKEN TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Combine the sake, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and sesame oil in a dish that you can steep the chicken in, (I use a 23cm square dish, but anything of similar dimensions would do).
• Add the prepared chicken pieces and leave for 15 minutes.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large shallow frying pan or casserole (that has a lid) over medium heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken pieces from the marinade to the pan. Saute them until they look cooked on the outside.
• Add the marinade to the chicken pieces and bring to a bubble, then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer, put the lid on and cook for about 5 minutes. Cut into a piece of chicken to make sure it's cooked through.
• Remove the cooked pieces with a slotted spoon (you could keep them in a bowl covered in aluminum foil to keep them warm) and turn the heat up under the pan to let the liquid boil down to a thick dark syrup.
• Return the chicken pieces back to the pan, stir well so that all the chicken pieces are coated in the sticky savory syrup. Serve with a comforting pile of sushi rice and perhaps some steamed baby bok choy or other veggies of your choice.

• Cut the chicken livers in half or into large chunks.
• Cut the largest chestnuts in half.
• Cut the bacon strips in half, crosswise.

• Serve hot.

RUMAKI APPETIZER

Steps:

• Place bacon strips on frying pan with low flame and cover pan.
• Melt some butter or margarine, and add the soy sauce, ginger, sherry and garlic in another frying pan with a container of chicken livers on a medium flame.
• DO NOT ALLOW THE BACON TO GET FULLY DONE, ONLY PARTIALLY DONE.
• While bacon is still soft and only partially done, remove and place strips onto a paper towel to slightly cool.
• When livers are done on both sides, remove from flame and also set aside onto paper towel to slightly cool.
• Slice the chicken livers into somewhat flat pieces.
• Take a piece of chicken liver and a slice of water chestnut and wrap either 1/2 strip of bacon or a whole strip of bacon around the liver and water chestnut, securing it with a wooden toothpick.
• Place the Rumaki onto a cookie sheet, and continue this same procedure, until the cookie sheet is filled and the livers and bacon are gone.
• Set the cookie sheet with all of the Rumaki aside.
• About 20 minutes before company arrives, preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• About 15 minutes before company arrives, place the cookie sheet with the Rumaki into the oven for 10 minutes, and then raise the oven to broil for about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from oven and serve on a hot plate.
• Leave the toothpicks in place so they can pick it up by the toothpicks.
