Kicchiri Kitchen: Grilled Chicken with Rayu Sauce (ラー油味のチキン)

Taberu-rayu sauce has become quite popular, and you can find it in most supermarkets. Normal rayu is chilli-infused sesame oil, which you will find at most Chinese restaurants or where gyoza are sold. The new taberu-rayu, or edible chilli oil, has a similar oil base (but not as spicy) with herbs and spices added to it. Add some taberu-rayu to chopped vegetables to make a delicious, fresh sauce.
