Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce (or Coconut Aminos for soy-free)
- 0.25 cup Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 0.25 cup Sake
- 2 tablespoons Honey or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch (or Arrowroot powder)
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Canola or Vegetable oil (Sesame-free)
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (for garnish)(optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

Place the chicken pieces in a shallow dish and pour half of the sauce over them; let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- 3
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 4
Add the chicken to the skillet, discarding the used marinade, and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
- 5
Pour the remaining fresh sauce into the skillet with the chicken and bring to a gentle simmer.
- 6
In a small cup, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then stir it into the skillet.
- 7
Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken with a glossy glaze.
- 8
Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice, garnished with green onions if desired.
