Your Japanese Chicken is very tasty and goes well with other oriental dishes. Instead of green peas I used sugar peas and barely cooked them. I had Saki on hand so I used that and it gave a nice subtle flavor (of course I had to test the saki as I was cooking definately good) Excellent recipe thanks James I'll be watching for more of your recipes
