Authentic Bang Bang Chicken in a Microwave

Ingredients

• 2 Chicken thighs
• 1 dash Salt and pepper
• 3 tbsp Shaoxing wine
• 1 Green parts of a Japanese leek
• 4 slice Ginger
• 1 Star anise
• 1 dash The white part of a Japanese leek, finely julienned
• 1 Cucumber
• 50 grams White sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Miso
• 1/2 tsp Doubanjiang
• 1/2 tsp Sesame oil
• 100 ml Chicken stock
• 1 tbsp Boiled mirin
• 2 tbsp Juices from steamed chicken

Steps

1. Prepare the bang bang chicken.
2. Use a knife to thin out the thick parts of the chicken, spreading it out to an even thickness. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
3. Put the chicken into a heatproof dish, skin down. Top with 3 tablespoons of Shaoxing wine, green parts of the leek, ginger, and star anise. Wrap with plastic and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes.
4. Once it's done heating, flip the chicken over and heat for another 2 minutes. You will use the boiling liquid later, so don't throw it out.
5. Once it's cooked, let it cool on the plate. Once cooled, cut with the skin down. Spread the julienned cucumber on a plate and top with the chicken. Garnish with the white part of the leek.
6. Make the bang bang chicken sauce. Mix together the ingredients and grind until smooth. If this is a pain, you can also just use store-bought sauce! (You can also just use mustard.)
7. Top Step 3 with the bang bang chicken sauce and enjoy!
8. If you top with mustard, it will become Japanese-style steamed chicken. This is also delicious!
