Chicken breasts, simmered in soy and sake (thats “sak-eh”, i.e. rice wine). It’s a fast, flavoursome and DEAD SIMPLE dish we found in Donna Hay Modern Classics.
Now some people say a lot of Donna’s stuff is style over substance and her exquisitely photographed books are just an excuse for “food porn” (who says it? Okay, wesays it!). But this recipe is a gem. Just a handful of ingredients and none of them terribly esoteric (c’mon, star anise and sake aren’t THAT hard to find!).
We toss this one together whenever we need a standby. Our industrial-sized bottle of soy sauce means we’re never short of the key ingredient, and it’s also a good excuse to keep a bottle of sake on hand. But then of course you need the proper sake bottle and cups. Twenty bucks or so should get you a cute little set.
Oh yeah — Lenny’s advice about how to cook rice. It does work. “One quantity of rice, one and a half of liquid,” … watch the video for the rest of her mantra.

So pleased to see you’re alive and well and at your enterprising best!!!
And a little Wazlen on the way,
Good you you.
I love your podcast with itunes. I notice you have alot more recipes on your website. Is it possible to download all of your cooking shows onto my ipod. I recently made your spaghetti for labor day and my family loved it. I am going to try out your banoffee next. Oh and by the way Lynn, I love when you say Oh, it reminds me that I am watching a cooking show in the UK. I am in the United States. keep up the great work guys.
I love your show. I recently made the spaghetti for my family for labor day and they loved it. I think it was the tomatos. I am going to try the banoffee next.
Is there a way to down load the recipes that are on your website on to my ipod? I have the ones from itunes but you have some fabulous ones on your website.
Regina,
You could try downloading the older episodes and then dragging and dropping them into the open iTunes window … some of the older ones are not in a format that is directly iPod compatible, but recent versions of iTunes will sometimes convert them, though it might take a little while. I’m not sure where these converted vids would crop up on your iPod; maybe not in podcasts, for example, but perhaps in your video directory. Try it and let me know the results!
Good luck,
