- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Coat chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off.
- Cook the Chicken: Add chicken to skillet, sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Simmer the Reserved Marinade: Pour reserved marinade into the skillet, bring to boil, then simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Thicken the Sauce: Mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Whisk into the simmering sauce until thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine and Serve: Slice chicken and return to skillet with sauce. Toss to coat, serve over rice with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
Use the full marinating time for best flavor. Serve immediately for maximum tenderness.
