I was trying to think of a recipe to use chicken. I didn't feel like making fried chicken or chicken steak... so I went with yakitori!

I recommend shaking the pan instead of using a spatula in Step 5, because the Japanese leek falls apart easily. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by *Anna*

Steps

1

Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Cut the Japanese leek into 2 cm pieces. Combine the ＊ ingredients.
2

Heat a frying pan, add the Japanese leek, and fry while rolling around until lightly browned. Remove from the pan for a moment.
3

Add chicken in the pan, cover with a lid, and fry over medium-high. Shake the pan occasionally so that the chicken doesn't get burnt.
4

Return the Japanese leek to the pan, and continue stir-frying until the chicken is lightly browned.
5

Pour in the ＊ mixture and mix well. Continue stir-frying until the liquid has evaporated a little bit and the sauce starts to thicken.
6

You're all done!
