Chicken Shogayaki (Ginger Chicken)

Ginger Chicken

Chicken Shogayaki (鶏の生姜焼き) or ginger chicken is sautéed chicken and onion in a ginger-soy flavored sauce. Just like Ginger Pork and Ginger Beef, this is a popular meat entree for everyday dinner in Japan. The taste of spicy ginger and lightly sweet savory sauce perfectly complements steamed rice. Along with some miso soup (find your favorite from many miso soups in our library!), you have a nutritious and delightful meal. The dish can be done in a matter of 10-15 minutes, so it’s easily made after work or school on busy weekdays. The typical and best side vegetable for Ginger Chicken is shredded cabbage, which adds a refreshing crunch to the meal, but a green salad would do too if that’s easier. If you don’t know what to cook, this is it! Hope you give it a try!

Beef Shogayaki (Ginger Beef) Recipe

Beef Shogayaki

Beef Shogayaki (Ginger Beef, 牛肉の生姜焼き) is braised thin beef in a ginger and soy sauce. The ginger-flavored sauce has just the right amount of spiciness balanced with saltiness and sweetness from soy sauce and Mirin. It is a version of Pork Shogayaki, ginger pork, and it may not be as well-known and popular as the pork dish, but it tastes great nonetheless.

Pork Shogayaki Recipe

Pork Shogayaki Recipe

Pork Shogayaki is another popular dish for lunch and dinner in Japan.  The flavors of spicy ginger (shoga) and soy sauce with a touch of sweetness from Mirin taste great with steamed rice.  It is not as sweet as a typical Teriyaki sauce.  This tasty ginger sauce may stimulate your appetite, and you might have to watch out or you’ll be taking a second serving of rice.

Ginger Dressing Recipe

Ginger Dressing

I love the taste of fresh ginger.  Tangy, juicy, and a little spicy this root tastes really good especially when it’s freshly grated and mixed with soy sauce.  We use the soy sauce and ginger combination in many types of dish such as grilled meat, tofu, or dipping sauce for cold noodles.  Salad dressing is also a great way to enjoy the full flavor of ginger and soy.

All you need to do to make this scrumptious dressing is to peal and grate fresh ginger and combine all the ingredients .  You can add some sesame seeds and sesame oil to make it even more flavorful, but it’s optional.  Garlic is also an option but I like it with just a tiny bit for a kick (not too much.)  Please don’t substitute fresh ginger with powdered one.  It’s just not the same!

Pour the dressing over simple greens or with some grilled seafood or tofu.
