Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the hot pan. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice caramelized exterior.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    While the chicken is cooking, pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    Serve the Dish

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and serve it over cooked rice. Drizzle the thickened sauce over the chicken, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
