How to cook

Prepare the yakitori sauce and chicken

Prepare the yakitori sauce by combining light soy sauce, sake, mirin and brown sugar in a small bowl or cup. Set aside.
Reserve 80g of the cubed chicken thigh to mince. Marinate both in the teriyaki sauce and ginger.
Fill the cavity of the shiitake mushrooms with 1 tbsp of the marinated minced chicken.
Divide the rest of the minced chicken into six portions and shape them into even balls. Add vegetable oil to a pan on medium heat and fry until brown. Skewer the minced chicken balls onto two sticks once cooled.

Grill vegetables and skewer the remaining ingredients

Cut the red and green capsicums into small, even sizes. Wrap each of the king mushrooms in a slice of streaky bacon.
Alternate the filled shiitake mushrooms, wrapped king mushrooms, green and red capsicums on the bamboo skewers.
Brush a hot grill with vegetable oil and cook all of the skewered food until golden-brown. Pour the rest of the yakitori sauce over and enjoy!
