In this Video we made Chashu Chicken and dressed it with Ssamjang Sauce
And it was absolutely delightful. Chashu chicken is a Japanese dish that consists of braised chicken in a soya broth. Served with rice or noodles and often with other vegetables, such as mushrooms and peppers. The word chashu means “fatty pork” in Japanese. So the name of this dish refers to the texture of the meat—it should be tender and juicy, but not so fatty that it is greasy.
