Watch Dining with the Chef Season 6 Episode 27 Online

Our theme this episode is soaking. Chef Saito will be making spinach ohitashi, a very popular home-cooked standard, served with a unique twist: adding Japan's best known edible flower, chrysanthemums, for a beautiful finishing touch. We'll also be making kara-age fried chicken, flavored by soaking the chicken first in a soy sauce-based marinade, with our secret ingredient, Chinese chili oil, rounding out the flavor with just a hint of heat.
