Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

Begin by trimming any excess fat from the chicken thighs. Roll each thigh tightly and secure with kitchen twine.

2. Make the Braising Sauce

In a large saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, smashed garlic cloves, and sliced ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.

3. Braise the Chicken

Add the rolled chicken thighs to the saucepan. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 40 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally to ensure even cooking.

4. Cool and Slice

Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the heat and let it cool in the braising liquid. After cooling, slice the chicken into rounds.

5. Finish and Serve

Heat sesame oil in a pan, add the sliced chicken, and briefly sear for added flavor. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with rice or ramen.
