Tabaka with Asian-Inspired Marinade and Soy Ginger Glaze is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is a fusion of Asian and Georgian cuisine, making it a unique and exciting addition to your recipe collection.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 Cornish hen, butterflied
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon of chopped scallions
To start, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Place the butterflied Cornish hen in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
When you're ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil and sesame oil. Remove the Cornish hen from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the hen skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the hen over and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the hen is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the hen is cooking, prepare the soy ginger glaze by combining the remaining marinade with 1 tablespoon of water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the glaze has thickened.
Once the hen is cooked, remove it from the oven and brush the soy ginger glaze over the top. Sprinkle with chopped scallions and serve hot.
This Tabaka with Asian-Inspired Marinade and Soy Ginger Glaze is a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors. The crispy skin of the Cornish hen is perfectly complemented by the tangy and slightly spicy glaze. The dish is visually stunning, with the golden brown skin and vibrant green scallions.
