Critical Success Points

  • Soak the bamboo skewers to prevent them from burning.
  • Marinate the chicken long enough for the flavors to penetrate.
  • Cook the chicken to 75°C to ensure food safety.
  • Do not let the sauce caramelize excessively to avoid bitterness.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with gloves or separate utensils to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Watch out for splattering hot oil during cooking.
  • Use tongs to turn the skewers to protect your hands from the flame.

The Japanese Cheesecake Hack That’s Taking Over the Internet 🍰

A light, no‑bake Japanese‑style cheesecake made with crushed biscuits and plain Greek yogurt. The original low‑calorie hack from Japan is simple: mix biscuits with yogurt, let it set in the fridge for 4‑6 hours. This recipe follows the authentic method and also notes the over‑sweetened American adaptation that swaps yogurt for a tub of Philadelphia no‑bake cheesecake and adds extra sugar.
