Taiwanese-Style Steamed Chicken Over Rice

Ji Rou Fan

This is a dish you can really savor juicy chicken breast, which is often thought to be boring! This is my take on Ji Rou Fan, a popular chicken over rice dish from Taiwan. With my donabe steamer, Mushi Nabe, it always comes out so tender, juicy, and flavorful with no effort. Marinating the breast in shio-koji for overnight can make it extra tender. The soy and ginger based sauce is really great for the dish. With the freshly-cooked Kamado-san donabe rice, chicken, and sauce, the flavors are so perfect, but feel free to add different toppings as I suggested in this recipe or something else you like. 


Garlic Black Cod

Super simple and super good. I’ve been making this dish in different kinds of donabe and the dish is always a great success. It’s a sizzling dish of generous amount of garlic etc. and oyster sauce marinated black cod, finished in the oven. Minimum effort is required to execute the dish, so it’s a perfect dish to cook for your guests at a dinner party. And everybody loves it!

The tagine-style donabe , Fukkura-san, with its flat skillet bottom, cooks the ingredients most effectively. Or, you can also use other kinds of donabe (dry-heating capable is preferred), too. For a small serving, I also like to use my compact one-handle donabe , Izakaya Nabe. Happy Donabe Life!
