Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons Sake Or Dry White Wine
  • 4 Tablespoons Mirin
  • 8 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 pound Thin Cut Chicken Breasts
  • Sliced Scallions, Optional, For Garnish
  • Rice, Veggies, Or Other Sides, For Serving

Method

  • Add the sugar, sake, mirin, and soy sauce to a small skillet over medium heat.
  • Let it come to a bubble, and when the sauce boils turn the heat off.
  • The sauce will thicken slightly.
  • For the chicken, preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat with the oil.
  • Add the chicken in a single layer.
  • Sear the chicken on both sides for 2 minutes each, then pour 2 tablespoons of the sauce into the skillet.
  • Toss the sauce with the chicken and cook until the sauce coats the chicken and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Cook time will vary based on the thickness of your chicken; mine was thin.
  • Just make sure its no longer pink in the middle before you remove it from the heat.
  • Serve as desired with extra sauce for drizzling and dipping.
  • Notes: 1.
  • This sauce is delicious on any protein that you enjoy.
  • Make a double batch and itll be good in the fridge for several weeks.
  • 2.
  • You may also grill your chicken or protein of choice.
  • Simply grill the chicken as usual, brushing the sauce over the meat beginning halfway through cooking.
