2 Lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
 2 eggs
 1/4 cup water
 2 sheets nori, cut into 1 x 2 inch pieces
 1 cup flour
 1 1/2 cup panko (japanese bread crumbs)
 Oil for deep frying
 Marinate cubed chicken in sake marinade for 2 hours.  Beat eggs
 with water. Wrap nori strip around cubed chicken and coat with
 flour. Dip in egg mixture and coat with panko. Heat oil in a shallow
 pan or skillet and fry chicken in single layer, turning occasinally
 until chicken is evenly brown and cooked through, about 10 to 12
 minutes. Watch the oil temperature carefully to avoid over-browning
 chicken. Serve with tonkatsu sauce. Makes about 32 pieces.
 Sake Marinade
 Combine 2 Tbsp sake, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp minced
 ginger and 1 t minced garlic, blend well.
