Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup mirin

1/4 cup sake

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 tbsp vegetable oil

4 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Step 2

Thread the chicken onto skewers, then brush with a little of the sauce.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Brush with vegetable oil, then grill the chicken skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

Step 4

To assemble the bowls, divide the rice among four bowls. Top each with some chicken skewers and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
