Japanese Teriyaki Roast With Wasabi




This is my own recipe....wasabi and teriyaki honey & soy sauce are the only ingredients used for this Japanese Teriyaki Roast. I am an avid fan of wasabi and I knew this would come soon. Daddy asked " how are you going to cook this chicken leg ? " I told him this " wait, I am going to give you a surprise and I am sure you will love it " but actually I do not know what to do with the chicken legs at the time when I answered him :p Daddy only knows how to eat , so as long as I make something nice he doesn't mind how I cooked them :p I looked through the fridge looking through bottles of sauces for something that can go well for the chicken and suddenly my eyes just focus on the tin of wasabi and suddenly this great idea come to mind. Haha , I am going to surprise him indeed! Wasabi in his roast chicken LOL! yess... I know it will turn out good in my mind. So I took out the wasabi and this teriyaki sauce . Rubbing the wasabi under the skin of the chicken legs and smiling to myself...surprise him I will and brushed on teriyaki honey & soy sauce on the surface of the legs. So easy..isn't it . Roast them at 200 deg C for 45 minutes and tada... a crispy and golden leg for Daddy LOL!


Rub wasabi under the chicken skin...don't worry about the fat near the skin
they will turn into oil and drip off on the aluminium foil



I love this teriyaki Honey & Soy sauce...good for
cooking chicken and good for salmon too :))



the wasabi and teriyaki sauce goes well together...perfect match
in heaven..... the skin is crispy and honey sweet :)



I cooked this organic ramen to go with the roast
Daddy was surprised with this presentation *wink
foodies are more careful with their presentation of food
and I told him to go slow with the roast coz
there is wasabi underneath the skin......
wheez... it was a perfect combo alright :))

  3. When you said about wasabi I thought that the sauce for the ramen was wasabi! phew, luckily it was just in the chicken. I bet they gave a really good "kick". I like the sauce for the ramen actually. Just good ol' olive oil and some herbs.
