The ingredient composition and portion size of this dish was just right. Next time I will add ~1/2 tsp miso to each packet to increase the overall umami.
I ended up with a 6 oz piece of sea bass (uncooked) from the night before and was looking for a recipe with the addition of shrimp for dinner. We found a keeper! Added ~ 1/2 tsp of miso as another reviewer suggested. I grilled the packets 11 minutes as I was concerned the chicken might need a bit more time. Served over a bed of rice and braised bok choy. Next time, I'll cook per the recipe for 10 minutes. As Mr. Tsuji said, "you have to taste and enjoy it"!
Five stars! I served everything over sautéed bok choy. I love fish-in-foil recipes because the fish is cooked but not overcooked, moist not dry. I also recommend Mark Bittman’s salmon with tomatoes and basil in foil recipe from this site.
This was delightful! Delicate nuances of flavors. And easy to assemble. There should be more notes about this one!
