I’ll introduce a very simple "homemade chicken ham"（Torihamu：鳥はむ/鶏ハム）recipe．
Homemade Chicken Ham is a dish of boiled chicken breast meat, not smoked, which is a popular way to cook ham.

■Direcitions
1.Remove skin from raw chicken. Sprinkle sugar and salt on chicken.
Lay them in the refrigerator for about 24 hours for ageing of protein.
＊Interesting fact ! ：This recipe uses a 1％ salt and sugar ratio to the chicken meat. This is ideal because it is said by culinary proffessionals in Japan that because the human body has the same salt ratio as the recipe (1％), it is more appealing to the pallette. A 1％ sugar ratio is recommended for balance in the recipe. Sugar makes meat tender.
