Inspiration, with Chicken

Inspiration struck on my walk home from work the other night.  Sliced cooked sweet potatoes. Sliced avocado.  Cooked chicken, shredded.  Onions lightly sauteed. Drizzled with a terriyaki-ish sauce.  It was delish.

I had forgotten how far a simple sauce could go to tie things together and give some zest.  I rarely measure anything, but here’s my basic methodology:

Use a small, heavy bottom pan.

• Gluten-free tamari (I used San-J)
• Mirin (sweet rice cooking wine)
• Juice ( I had Naked Mango Smoothie on hand, but have used orange juice in the past)
• Powdered ginger

Cook over low heat until liquid is reduced to 2/3 or 1/2
