This is a Hawaiian appetizer that makes good use of wasabi as a flavouring.

Ingredients:

120ml soy sauce
60ml Worcestershire sauce
60ml vegetable oil
60ml dark rum
1 tbsp wasabi paste
juice of 1 orange
1 tbsp freshly-grated ginger
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
300g cubed chicken thigh and/or breast

Method:

Whisk all the ingredients (except the chicken) together. Place the chicken pieces in the marinade and leave in the fridge for about 4 hours (stir the marinade after 2 hours).

Pre-heat a grill to medium-high heat then remove the chicken from the marinade and shake-off any excess liquid. Place ono a lightly-oiled grill rack and cook for some 6 minutes on each side. Continue cooking until the chicken is completely cooked through.

Remove this 'pupu' chicken to a serving dish and insert a cocktail stick in each piece of meat. Serve immediately.
