We had a special evening with the Captain and Moff last night afore we cast anchor for Crete and I thought lets go sort of Japanese.
Ship's band for evening NASA, In Sha Allah, bit of decadent electro/metal/mock Arabian nonsense its taken me a while to track down on CD, UFO over Cairo, Serophia etc. Make yourself a Gin and It with an Orange blossom for the Ladeez and lets cook.
Earlier you will have soaked eight chicken breast fillets in a marinade made from: Seven tablespoons of soy sauce, a glass of dry sherry, six chopped bird's eye chili peppers, six chopped garlic cloves, a dollop of honey and an inch square cube of chopped ginger for a couple of hours in the fridge
Bung two boil in the bag rice bags on to boil in one pan for ten minutes, in the other fry some chopped onions, garlic, panchetta bits, chilli and mushrooms with a good seasoning of Chinese five spice powder, When the rice is ready stir it into the pan of veg and panchetta. Add a handfull of frozen peas and a beaten egg. Stir about till the egg is cooked and serve up onto four plates
In another pan fry the chicken fillets for a few minutes turning them over to ensure they cook evenly then chuck in the marinade and boil it down. Turn two chicken fillets onto each pile of rice and then pour some of the marinade over the chicken.
Total cooking time is about 15 minutes
We had this with a nice chilled Muscadet and very nice it was too.
