A few months ago, I bought a cute manga-style Japanese cookbook at Borders. It lay dormant on my shelf for a while, collecting dust, but earlier this week I decided I'd have to make use of it for something new. So, I made yakitori for the family tonight - and it was a huge success. I impressed myself.
It's basically chicken-meatballs on a skewer, though I found the skewers to be more or a hindrance than anything. Ground chicken, cornstarch, an egg, sesame seeds and spring onion. They were cooked in a pan (and had nice, crispy edges) and I even went a step further and reduced teriyaki sauce into a glaze for the top of them.
My brother and I sifted through the book after dinner, and we decided that we're gonna make rice bun sandwiches, tamago tomodachi (egg buddies!) and octopus sausages together next time. :]

I think this now makes you an iron chef! I am one too...perhaps we will have an epic showdown with pipe cleaners and squiggly eyes as the secret ingredient!
