Steps

1. Prepare the sauce5 min
Mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and ginger (if using). If you have mirin, see the substitutions.
2. Sear the chicken12 min
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken on both sides until it is golden brown and thoroughly cooked—the thickest part should reach 74°C (165°F).
3. Glaze6 min
Pour the sauce over the chicken, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, turning the chicken occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken like a glossy glaze.
4. Serve2 min
Slice the chicken, garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chives, and serve over rice.

Substitutions & variations

Don't have any sake? You can omit it—the flavor will be a little less complex—or substitute dry sherry.
If you don't have mirin, mix dry white wine with sugar or honey.
