Chicken Marinade
For Serving
Method
Preparation
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, sugar, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Cook the Chicken
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and slightly charred. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Chill the Chicken
Once cooked, let the chicken cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.
Serving
Plate the Dish
Slice the chilled chicken and arrange it on a serving platter. Top with chopped green onions, sliced cucumber, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve cold.
