Instructions

  1. 1Cut the about 680 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs into 2.54 cm bite-sized pieces.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, 2 tbsp sake, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tsp grated ginger until the brown sugar is dissolved.
  3. 3Heat the 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat, which is about 190°C.

  7. 7Thinly slice the 2 stalks of green onions and sprinkle them over the top of each bowl as a garnish.
