Soy and ginger Chicken Thigh Hash

This Japanese Hash leans on soy and ginger to do the heavy lifting. We crisp the Chicken Thigh for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the soy and ginger elements, and pat the chicken thigh dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the chicken thigh. Fry until deeply crisp and golden, then drain on paper and season straight away.

Stir in the white miso and the rest of the soy and ginger flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the sweetcorn along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
