Description
A recipe for Golden Hens of Togetherness

Ingredients

• 4 (1-1/2 to 2-pound) Cornish game hens
  
• 2 cups water
  
• 1-1/2 cups Kikkoman Soy Sauce
  
• 3/4 cup sugar
  
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
  
• 4 star anise
  
• 1 (1-inch) piece ginger root, sliced

Preparation
Remove the excess fat from the game hens. Wash the hens in cold running water; drain.

Bring the 2 cups water, soy sauce, sugar, wine, star anise and ginger to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan. The saucepan should be large enough to hold 2 hens on the bottom, side by side.

Add two of the hens and return the sauce to boiling. Turn the hens over, being careful not to break the skin (it looks best unbroken). Return to boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 to 15 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil too hard or the skin on the hens will break. Turn the hens over and cook another 10 to 15 minutes; check to see if they're done by removing one from the pan and moving the leg. If it moves easily, they're done. Remove the hens carefully; keep warm.

Repeat with the remaining hens. Serve warm.
