Great choice! Fajitas are a delicious and versatile dish. Converting them to Japanese cuisine is an interesting challenge. Here's what I recommend:
The amount of calories in the meal:
Assuming that the fajitas are made with chicken, the approximate number of calories per serving (based on 4 servings) is 350-400 calories.
Table of ingredients for Fajitas:
Ingredient Quantity
Chicken breast 500g
Bell peppers 2
Onion 1
Olive oil 2 tbsp
Garlic 2 cloves
Chili powder 2 tsp
Cumin powder 1 tsp
Salt To taste
Tortillas 8
Lime juice 2 tbsp
Cilantro leaves For garnish
Sour cream For serving
Table of additional ingredients to achieve Japanese cuisine:
Ingredient Quantity
Soy sauce 2 tbsp
Mirin 1 tbsp
Sake 1 tbsp
Sugar 1 tsp
Ginger (grated) 1 tsp
Wasabi paste 1 tsp
Rice vinegar 1 tbsp
Sesame seeds (toasted) For garnish
Nori (dried seaweed) For serving
Pickled ginger For serving
Step-by-step instructions and technique:
Cut the chicken into thin strips and marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, and sake for at least 30 minutes.
Cut the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
In a wok or large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the bell peppers and onion and cook until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin powder, and salt and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Return the chicken to the pan and stir everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, sugar, ginger, and wasabi paste to make a sauce.
Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or in the oven.
Serve the fajitas with the sauce, cilantro leaves, pickled ginger, nori, sesame seeds, and tortillas on the side.
The best way to serve the dish:
To serve, place a warm tortilla on a plate and spoon some of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto it. Drizzle some of the sauce on top and garnish with cilantro leaves and sesame seeds. Serve with pickled ginger and nori on the side. Enjoy!
