• 0.5 cup Mirin
• 0.25 cup Sake
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ginger(optional)
• 10 pieces Bamboo Skewers

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

2. 2

   In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, and ginger. Simmer over medium heat until the liquid reduces by half and becomes syrupy.

3. 3

   Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.

4. 4

   Cut the white and light green parts of the scallions into 1-inch lengths.

   Thread the chicken and scallions onto the skewers, alternating between them, starting and ending with chicken.

6. 6

   Preheat a grill or broiler to high heat.

7. 7

   Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side. Once the chicken starts to brown, brush generously with the prepared tare sauce.

8. 8

   Continue grilling and flipping for another 2-4 minutes, applying sauce 2-3 more times until the chicken is cooked through and glazed.

9. 9

   Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
