Make yakitori negima (chicken and scallion skewers) right in a skillet! By cooking the scallions separately, you get the perfect texture. This dish is great as both an appetizer and a main course.

Recipe background:
When I made my usual teriyaki sauce a bit stronger, my family said it tasted just like yakitori. I thought about making yakitori, but decided to keep it simple and use a skillet instead. I wanted to keep the scallions crisp, so I cooked them separately in the pan.

Ingredients

Serves 2 servings
  1. 14 ozboneless, skin-on chicken thighs (about 400 grams)
  2. 1large scallion (or 1 leek)
  3. 2 tablespoonssoy sauce (30 ml)
  4. 1 tablespooneach sugar, mirin, and sake (15 ml each)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the scallion into pieces about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches long. Cut the chicken into large bite-sized pieces. (I used pre-cut pieces for fried chicken.)

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sake.

  3. 3

    Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion pieces and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat to low. Place the chicken pieces skin-side down in the same skillet. Once the skin is browned, flip the pieces over.

  5. 5

    When the other side is browned and the chicken is cooked through, return the scallions to the pan. Pour in the sauce mixture and increase the heat to high.

  6. 6

    Cook until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and scallions. Serve hot. Sprinkle with shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice) if you like.
