• ½ cup sake (rice wine)
• ½ cup mirin
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• ½ cup water

Directions

• In a bowl, whisk together 1 clove minced garlic, ⅛ tsp zested ginger, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and ⅓ cup soy sauce.
• Add the chicken thighs to the soy sauce mixture and stir just to combine. Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Once the chicken has marinated, grill each chicken thigh for about 4 minutes on each side
• While the chicken is grilling, heat 2 tbsp of grape seed oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the garlic and stir for about 10 seconds. Then add in the soy sauce, sake, mirin, brown sugar, and water.Let the sauce cook over high heat until it just starts to thicken. bring the heat down to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. You dont want it to cook for too long, or else it will become bitter.
• When the sauce has thickened, add in the grilled chicken and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Cut the chicken into strips and serve over hot rice. You can pour extra sauce on top of the chicken if you like it more saucy.
