Perfect for busy days—just cook it up quickly in a skillet! This simple yet delicious dish is easy to make and tastes great even when cold, so it's perfect for lunchboxes too.
Recipe background:
This is a recipe passed down from my mom, who used to make it in the oven. I tried making it in a skillet, like teriyaki-style yellowtail, and found you can skip marinating and still get great flavor!

Ingredients

Serves 2–3 servings
  1. 2boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
  2. 2 tablespoonssoy sauce
  3. 2 tablespoonssake (or dry white wine)
  4. 2 tablespoonsmirin (sweet rice wine)
  5. 1 tablespoonsugar
  6. About 3/4 inch (2 cm), to taste, grated ginger (from a tube or fresh)
  7. About 3/4 inch (2 cm), to taste, grated garlic (from a tube or fresh)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook. You don't need to add oil, as the chicken will release its own fat.

  2. 2

    Once the skin is golden brown, flip the chicken and cook the other side until golden as well. Use a paper towel to blot any excess oil.

  3. 3

    When both sides are nicely browned, cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Steam-cook for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, mix together all the ingredients marked with ☆ (soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, ginger, garlic). You can also use this time to prep cabbage or make miso soup if you like.

  5. 5

    Pour the mixed sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Increase the heat to medium and simmer to reduce the sauce.

  6. 6

    Spoon the sauce over the chicken as it cooks. When the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, it's ready.

  7. 7

    Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces, plate it, and pour the remaining sauce over the top before serving.
