Chicken & Apple Shogayaki (Ginger Stir-Fry)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Shogayaki (Ginger Pork) is a staple of Japanese home cooking. While traditionally made with pork, this chicken version is lighter, and the apple is a genius partner. The heat of the ginger, the umami of soy sauce, and the fruity sweetness of the apple melt together in the pan into a thick, glossy glaze. Best friends with a bowl of steamed rice.

Instructions

1 ✓

Slice chicken thinly. Salt lightly and toss in flour, shaking off excess.

Tip: Flour coating protects meat from drying and thickens the sauce later.
2 ✓

Grate ginger and garlic. Core and slice apples thinly (skin on is fine).

Tip: Keep the ginger juice, it's flavor gold!
3 ✓

Heat oil in skillet on med-high. Sear chicken until golden (5-6 mins). Don't crowd pan.

Tip: Batch cook if needed to fry, not steam.
4 ✓

Add apples, ginger, and garlic. Stir-fry 2 mins until apple softens slightly.

Tip: Garlic burns fast, add it late.
5 ✓

Pour in soy sauce and sugar. Toss quickly; sauce will turn into a glossy glaze instantly.

Tip: Caramelized sugar + soy = Teriyaki style gloss.
6 ✓

Remove from heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with rice.
