Author Notes
This is a scrumptious Asian dish, and very healthy too. I love the combination of earthy salty flavours you get from soy sauce and miso matched with the meatiness of the chicken. You should be able to find most of these ingredients in the shops, but if you cant find mirin (sweet rice wine) you can substitute it with sherry. —Chef_Mel
