Quick dinner! These chicken skewers were done in all of 20 minutes including preparation.

The husband works on shift, so he comes home at weird timings all through the day (and night). I kinda prefer it if he comes home around 8+ so that I have time to cook, but I kinda not prefer it because it means less time spent together, so I’d say I kinda prefer it only when I’m in the mood to cook.

Today’s one of those days. I haven’t cooked anything different for a while now. My original plan was to use up my last few strips of chicken fillet in a claypot ee mee, but I opened my refrigerator and saw the NEW Teriyaki Marinade Lee Kum Kee sent over a few days ago. I want to make something with this sauce!

Using it as a glaze over roasted chicken fillet sounds a bit boring. so I decided to make chicken skewers, Japanese style. Kaypoh Aegon popped into the kitchen while I was laying the skewers on the Airfryer grill pan:

Aegon: “Whacha doin’ Yayaya?”
Me: “Fixing dinner! What do you think I’m making?”
Aegon: “Hmm.. SATAYS!”

Then he skipped off to the living room and continued watching his TV while calling out for “Yayaya!” every three seconds. I love that kid.

Because I only had chicken fillets, I minced them by slicing and chopping repeatedly with the knife. You don’t even need a food processor. Of course, you don’t have to do this if you already have minced meat to begin with. And now I’m gonna tell you how to make this!

I have a love-hate relationship with Saba (mackerel) fish. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I don’t. Most times I do, depending on my mood. The same can’t be said about my relationship with fried chicken or hainanese curry png. I always love fried chicken and hainanese curry png. There’s no two ways about it.

Eating fish is “supposed to be” a healthy affair. Fish is good for you yes, but before you order that saba fish set from the food court Japanese stall, have you wondered how it is prepared? Peep into their kitchen next time you order Japanese food and you’ll most probably see the cook drop a perfect saba fish into the deep fryer. Yes, most of these “healthy” saba sets are deep fried to save time.

The fish above was airfried for 8 minutes. No oil was added and the “fishy smell” wasn’t too bad at all as compared to panfrying. There was minimal clean up (just soak the airfryer basket, wash and go!) and the fish came out perfect. With the Philips Airfryer, I never cook fish any other way, unless if the fish is too big to fit, then I use the oven.

The fish was moist and flaked beautifully. If you prefer, you can add some grated ginger plus ginger juice to your teriyaki sauce. I left that out because I was pressed for time, but this fish was still amazing and flavourful as it is. I’ll never order deep fried saba fish outside ever again. This is the absolute best way to enjoy fish.. lightly prepared with zero oil. Try this, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
