Can you make "tasteful" char siu in just 10 minutes? I was attracted to the recipe on the outer box of "Lead Cooking Paper" and decided to give it a try.


"Lead Cooking Paper" developed by Lion is a roll-type cooking paper. Since it is thick felt and does not tear easily, it can be used in various cooking situations such as dropping lids, draining oil, and draining water.


The recipe "Soft char siu of chicken meat" is posted on the outer box with the catch phrase "New proposal! 10 minutes in the microwave and 1 dish of taste". By cooking chicken breast using this cooking paper, it will be finished evenly and without simmering. The author often suffers from "unevenness" in microwave cooking. I will make it according to the recipe and see how the lead cooking paper works.


Open the chicken breast with double doors and rub in salt and pepper and honey. The point is to return it to room temperature in advance.



Wrap the seasoned chicken breast in a cylinder and wrap it in lead cooking paper. Be careful not to tear the cooking paper as it is easy to put pressure on your hands.



Sprinkle the seasoning liquid containing salty sauce, mirin, ginger, etc. on the entire cooking paper, and put it on a heat-resistant plate and put it in the microwave. Heat the front and back for 4 minutes each. The scent of soy sauce and ginger leaks out of the refrigerator, and you will be appetizing before the heating is finished! You can also see that the heated seasoning liquid is scattered in the refrigerator. I have to wipe it off later ...




After heating for a total of 8 minutes, it is ready. The cooking paper sticks to the chicken breast and is easy to tear, so carefully peel it off while paying close attention so that the pieces of paper do not stick. After peeling off, a slightly distorted but columnar chicken char siu appeared. It's pretty fair, but it's so easy to do and I'm thrilled.




The finished "soft char siu of chicken breast" has a moist texture that retains the gravy while being cooked well. The salt and pepper and honey wrapped inside give it a juicy and crisp taste. As a whole, it's easy to get together, so I wonder if the name chicken ham is more appropriate than char siu. The author took a lot of time to prepare the chicken breast and couldn't finish it within 10 minutes, but I was satisfied with the finished product evenly.


In addition to this, the outer box contains how to make hot vegetables. It is described that wrapping broccoli in wet reed cooking paper and heating it in the microwave protects 1.5 times more vitamin C than when boiled. If it's easy and you can increase the nutritional value of your diet, you can't use it.






"Lead cooking paper" can be obtained at supermarkets, drug stores, mail-order sites, etc., and the selling price is about 250 to 300 yen per box (40 cuts). There is also a product called "Lead Cooking Paper Smart Type" that is easy to use for cooking small quantities and making lunch boxes. In addition to char siu, various recipes are posted on the official website, so why not use it as a reference for shortening the cooking time?
