Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup mirin
- 1/2 cup cooking sake
- 6 cloves garlic grated
- 2 tsp ginger grated
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Slice the chicken into 1-inch pieces and lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown. Allow the bottom to develop color for extra flavor.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Whisk soy sauce, mirin, cooking sake, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and sesame oil together in a bowl.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of this sauce and mix it with cornstarch to create a slurry. Then stir the slurry back into the main sauce mixture.
- Return the pan to medium heat and pour in the sauce; simmer until it thickens slightly.
- Add the chicken back to the pan, stir to coat evenly, and serve over hot white rice.
Notes
Ensure the chicken pieces are evenly cut for uniform cooking.
For a thicker sauce, allow it to simmer longer before adding the chicken.
