About This Dish:
I like eating edamame in pods as a side dish but how about stir frying it with chicken and Japanese sauce? It turned out to be delicious! A wonderful match with rice and miso soup. It took 5 - 10 minutes to make too. My boyfriend kept asking for more! The sauce blends in perfectly with the chicken. The chicken remains soft and juicy by massaging the potato starch into the chicken before cooking. If you are lazy to make an extravagant dinner but seek for something simple, healthy and Japanese, this recipe is perfect for you!  

What You Need:
(Makes 3-4 servings)

• 1 - 1.25 lb (20oz, ~500g) boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tbsp potato starch
• 1 tsp olive oil or coconut oil
• Sliced or chopped garlic
• Frozen edamame (as much as you like, I put in 1/2 cup of edamame in pods from Trader Joes)

Sauce

• 1 or 2 tbsp Japanese soy sauce (I put in 1 tbsp but feel free to add more if you like)
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 1 tbsp Japanese sake
• (Optional) Salt, pepper

1. Cut up the chicken into bite sized pieces and massage the potato starch into the meat. This will help get the meat juicy and soft even after cooking!

2. Heat a pan onto HIGH heat with a tiny bit of oil and garlic. Throw in the chicken and cook until all sides are crispy and brown. Then, turn down the heat to LOW or MEDIUM and throw in the edamame.
