Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 1 1/2 lbs Boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mirin
  • 1/4 cup Sake
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 bunches Scallions, cut into 1-inch lengths
  • 4 cups Short-grain white rice, cooked
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Shichimi Togarashi (Japanese spice blend)(optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer the sauce for 8-10 minutes until it reduces by half and becomes a syrupy glaze (tare).

  3. 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Add the chicken thigh pieces in a single layer and sear for 4-5 minutes until browned on one side.

  5. 5

    Flip the chicken and add the scallion pieces to the pan, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Pour half of the prepared tare sauce over the chicken and scallions, tossing constantly until the sauce bubbles and coats everything in a thick glaze.

  7. 7

    Divide the cooked rice into four bowls and top with the glazed chicken and charred scallions.

  8. 8

    Drizzle the remaining sauce over the bowls and garnish with sesame seeds and Shichimi Togarashi.
