Chef Tips

- Use espetos de madeira de boa qualidade para garantir a textura crocante - Molhe os espetos em água antes de montar os espetinhos - Ajuste o tempo de grelhado conforme a temperatura da grelha

Variations

- Adicione pedaços de legumes como pepino ou tomate para variar o sabor - Experimente o molho com outros tipos de alcoólicos como sake - Use temperos asiáticos como gengibre ralado ou salsa picada

Substitutions

- Pode substituir o peito de frango por pera de frango ou alcatra - O molho shoyu pode ser substituído por molho soy light - A cebolinha pode ser substituída por alho picado

How to Store

Os espetinhos yakitori devem ser servidos imediatamente após a grelha, pois não se preservam bem. Guardar no refrigerador reduz a textura crocante.

Can You Freeze It?

Not recommended to freeze yakitori skewers, as the texture may change during defrosting. If freezing, shred the marinade and freeze the chicken cubes separately.

What to Serve With

Serve with white rice or black beans to complement the meal.
