Grilled chicken & Japanese sweet potatoes

This is the first time I'm attempting to have Japanese sweet potatoes as my side dish INSTEAD of dessert. It will be my last time, too. It's too sweet and dry, even without honey in the mix, as side dish to my main course!

Beautifully candied sweet potatoes

Here's the recipe for the chicken [LINK] and for the sweet potato;

INGREDIENTS

  • 3-4 medium sized Japanese sweet potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp Honey
  • 1.5 Tbsp Shio Koji
  • Olive Oil
METHOD
  • Scrub clean potatoes.
  • Cut into bite sizes.
  • Coat potato well with olive oil.
  • Wrap potato cubes in aluminium foil.
  • Airfryer > 180C > 6-7mins.
  • Toss cooked potato with honey & shio koji.
  • Place potato on aluminium foil in baking pan without wrapping it this time.
  • Airfryer > 160C > 3mins > toss within pan > 3mins.

Slit and stuff garlic slices
INGREDIENTS
- 2 Chicken Thighs
- 3 Cloves of Garlic, sliced
- 2 Tbsp Shio Koji
- Salt

METHOD
01. Pat dry chicken thighs before making some deep slits on both sides.
02. Rub shio koji onto meat, making sure it goes into the slits and under the skin.
03. Stuff garlic slices into slits.
04. Let it marinades in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Shio Koji
Shio-koji may not be easily found in Europe/U.S.A's Asian markets. Unless you're staying in the city with Japanese Supermarket. However, you may be able to get 'em from Amazon.

Making your own shio-koji is quite a hassle, too. Just the ingredients needed when you stay outside of Japan will send you back to buying it off the shelf straight.

Steak Cage - Airfryer
Optional: Spray Steak Cage well with olive oil.

All in to Airfryer
Secure chicken thighs in steak cage into Airfryer.

Airfryer Setting
Setting > 230C > 20mins > Roller On

Look at it roll! Be careful of burnt. Marinating in shio-koji can make your meat/seafood/vegetable burnt easily. To avoid that, make sure your meat has good amount of fats or coat it with more olive/cooking oil. If the chicken skin cooks too fast, before it's cooked through, reduce the heat, NOT the timer.




Remove steak cage carefully from the airfryer. Gear up well to remove the lid and the cooked meat out from the steak cage while it's still hot! You'll need to carefully struggle a little if the meat burnt onto the cage itself ミヽ(。><)ノ

You can serve the cooked meat on top of a bed of thinly sliced fresh cabbage -  drizzle with some wafu sauce - and pour the remaining jus found in the airfryer onto the meat.

I'm pairing it with Spicy Butter Grilled Brinjal.

INGREDIENTS
- 1 Brinjal, cut into 4 halves
- Nonya Dried Shrimp Sambal
- Butter
- Sea Salt

METHOD
01. Place slices of butter on baking pan. I've used cheese slicer to shave it.
02. Place brinjal onto buttered pan, skin side down, turning it left and right a little to coat it well with butter.
03. Shave butter to cover the top of brinjal, sprinkle salt to taste.
04. Airfryer > High Steel Rack > Baking Pan > Setting > 200C > 8 minutes (set longer for thicker pieces)
05. Pause cooking at the last 2-3 minutes to spread Nonya Dried Shrimp Sambal and continue to cook through the remaining time.
06. Remove grilled brinjal and pour remaining melted butter onto it before serving.

Braised Chicken Wings with Potato, Bell Peppers, Portobello Mushroom & Rocket Salad

Going to put my turbo air fryer & rice cooker to good use! First, you need to decide/plan how and when will each dishes go into the air fryer for optimal cook-time. A good workflow makes cooking AND cleaning up a breeze.


First, I need to prepare all the vegetables & roots. Always starts with the non-meat/seafood to minimise cross-contamination. I like to start on my chopping board with the garnish/enhancer ingredients first - chopped garlic, ginger, etc.

Braised Chicken Wings
  • 6 pieces of chicken wings
  • 1 inch of ginger, slice
  • 4-5 inches of carrot, slice
  • 4-5 tablespoon of mirin
  • 3 tablespoon of cooking sake
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 300ml of water
  • sesame oil
  • salt, sugar, black pepper to taste
Rub some salt & sesame oil to each chicken wing. Place on high steel rack+pan in air fryer. Setting: Grill, 3mins, Roller Off. Turn chicken wings 1 minute before completion.

Place chicken wings, sliced carrots & ginger into rice cooker pot. Pour mirin, cooking sake, soy sauce & water in. Hit Soup 60mins setting or set to cook for 60mins on medium heat setting. Add salt, sugar and black pepper to taste 3 minutes before it's done cooking.


Grill Portobello Mushroom
  • 2 pieces of portobello mushroom
  • 1-2 pieces of bacon
  • 2 gloves of garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Butter
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Remove stems from mushroom. Cut off dirty parts from mushroom & stem. Mince garlic, mushroom stem & bacon. Into mixture bowl, add a teaspoon of olive oil, salt & black pepper to taste. Mix well, scoop mixture into mushroom.

Place prepared mushroom onto high steel rack+pan in air fryer. Spray olive oil all over mushroom & pan. Sprinkle sea salt & black pepper on the whole mushroom. 1/2 teaspoon of butter onto mushroom where the mixture is. Hit Grill (190C), 10mins, Roller Off.

Drizzle the mushroom on plate with some of the balsamic vinaigrette from the rocket salad during serving.


While the mushroom is in the air fryer, you can prepare your chopped potato & bell peppers. And maybe a bit of washing up at the sink [^._.^]ノ彡

Potato & Bell Peppers
  • Bell Peppers, squares
  • Chat Potato, cubes
  • Black pepper & salt to taste
  • Nutmeg
  • Olive Oil
  • Spring onions, chopped
Potato and bell peppers in mixing bowl. Coat well with olive oil, black pepper, salt & nutmeg powder. Place mixture into Frying Basket. Hit Stir-fry (200C), Roller On, 12mins. Serve and garnish with chopped spring onions.

Clearing the fridge (◔◡◔✿)

Going to use my latest kitchen favourite for a quick whip of a dinner tonight. Sprinkle the burger patty with some salt and black pepper. Spray some cooking oil on both sides. Place patties in steak cage and hit Grill, set at 6 minutes cook-time, Roller is on automatically in this mode.

After 4 minutes, place some fresh enoki mushroom (pre-coated with cooking oil) on top of the patties, close lid, continue cooking.

Stop Roller mode. 1 slice of cheddar on each patty. Hit Bake and set at 2 minutes cook-time, Roller off.


Done! Fresh lettuce leaves on top and bottom. Pour some teriyaki sauce on it. Dilute a little if you're using store bought teriyaki sauce. If homemade, keep the consistency a little runny.

Salt boiled vegetable mix, a dollop of mayonnaise and fresh cut tomatoes for the side.

Note: I've used a store bought burger patties. The cooking time is shorter than my usual made from scratch.

Tatiana: More yummy for us?
I've finally decided to get one. Still won't settle on just the classic airfryer the likes of Philips/Mayer. I was still not convinced by the cost worthy of its usage (for me) and most importantly, a space in my kitchen.

Wow, Purin!
I've found something, almost similar, which can replace my small desktop oven toaster, and more! I use oven a lot for my cooking. I hate the smell of food grease in the apartment. Unless you're going to launder the curtains and steam washing the sofa/pillow/carpet/mattress each time you stir-frying and goes a little heavy on the cooking, it's best to try use the oven for those tasks.

Heck, I even make tonkatsu in oven. Best bits, since my oven toaster is portable, I just bring it to the yard aka laundry area to do my cooking.

Riino-in-the-Box
Off Riino goes and...
in, Tatiana went. Cats!
Menu is pretty straightforward. It came with tones of accessories. The main pot is thinly coated with Teflon. Material used itself is super thin, too.

Storm Trooper inspired?
If this works well in more ways I can use in my usual oven, I might invest a little more in getting the other brand, Buffalo, next. It comes with a sturdy, thick stainless steel pot.

This is like the newer, smaller, easier to clean convection oven my mom bought a decade plus ago. That pieces cost a bomb last time. Cleaning and storage are such a challenge then.

Always, always, remember to unlock to close the lid!
