Steps
Prep
Cut the chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces, keeping the skin on for better flavor.
Cut the green onion into pieces approximately 3cm in length.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, cooking sake, mirin, sugar, grated garlic, and grated ginger to create the seasoning sauce.
Cook
Heat 1 tsp of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Place the chicken pieces in the pan skin-side down. Cook until the skin is browned and fragrant, then flip the pieces over.
Add the green onion pieces to the pan and cook until both sides of the chicken and the onions are lightly browned.
Pour the mixed seasoning sauce into the pan. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken until it coats the chicken and onions well.
Finish
Place the cooked chicken and onions over bowls of hot rice.
Finish by topping with shredded nori, sesame seeds, mayonnaise, and chili flakes (shichimi) according to your preference.
Notes
Start cooking the chicken skin-side down to render the fat and increase savoriness. Ensure the sauce is well-reduced for a rich, glossy finish.
