Cooking Instructions

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, minced garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably a few hours.

2

Prepare for Cooking

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve the marinade) and place in the skillet.

3

Cook the Chicken

Cook the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

4

Add the Marinade

Pour the reserved marinade over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

5

Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of sides.
