Chicken Yakitori Sticks with Sesame Steamed Vinegar Rice and Chinese Pickled Salad

This is one of my favorite Japanese recipes and, teamed with Chinese pickled salad and sushi-style vinegar rice, it makes a healthy dinner that is easy to cook. You could also make the chicken sticks as a starter accompanied with the pickled salad. ‘Yakitori’ simply means grilled skewered meat. This recipe sees the liberal use of soy sauce – the one ingredient that Chinese and Japanese cuisines have in common. Wonderful!
