Featured in Cookpad News & a trending recipe! Enjoy easy, skewer-free yakitori at home for that izakaya (Japanese pub) vibe. Great as an appetizer, over rice, or packed in a lunchbox.
Recipe background:
At home, we usually eat yakitori with a special miso sauce from Higashimatsuyama called 'Ichiya no Miso Dare.' One time, I forgot to buy it, so I substituted with miso and shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice), which inspired this recipe.

Steps

1

Prepare the chicken as needed. Cut the chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with a little sake (optional: season with salt and pepper). Cut the green onion into 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) pieces.
2

Mix all the ● sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
3

Heat a little oil in a skillet. Add the chicken and green onion, and cook over medium heat until browned. (Tip: Let them sear without moving too much for a nice char.)
4

Wipe excess oil from the pan with a paper towel. Add the prepared sauce, cover, and steam-cook until the chicken is cooked through.
5

When the sauce has mostly evaporated, it's ready! Serve on a plate and enjoy.
