Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2/3 cup water + 2 tablespoons
2/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 lbs boneless, skinless salmon cut into 1-inch cubes
8 - 8” wooden skewers - soaked in water for at least one hour to prevent burning
sesame seeds for garnish
Directions:
Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in bottom of a small saucepan.
Saute the minced garlic and ginger over med-low heat, about 1 minute.
Turn heat to high, add the 2/3 cup water, soy sauce, sugar and vinegar and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Mix the cornstarch with 2T water to dissolve, then whisk into sauce to thicken.
Simmer for a few minutes.
Divide sauce into 2 bowls, one for basting, the other for serving.
Toss salmon chunks with half of the basting sauce then thread onto skewers using similar portions for each skewer (about 1/4 of a pound each).
Arrange with space between each on baking tray and baste with more sauce.
Place under broiler for 3-4 minutes, turning once, and basting before placing back under the broiler to finish cooking, another 3-4 minutes.
Remove from broiler and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving 2 skewers per person.
