Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups steamed jasmine rice
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Steamed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, etc.) for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar until sugar is dissolved.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
