Yakitori

Grilled chicken skewers glazed with tare sauce, a classic from Japanese izakayas.

Ingredients

• 300 grams Chicken breast
• 1 piece Scallion (white and green parts)
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Mirin
• 2 tablespoons Sake
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• ½ teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated

Directions

1. Cut the chicken into 2-3 cm cubes and the scallion into pieces of the same size. Thread onto soaked wooden skewers, alternating chicken and scallion.
2. Prepare the tare sauce by combining soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and grated ginger in a pot. Cook over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly.
3. Heat a grill or pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers until the chicken is browned.
4. Glaze the skewers with the tare sauce using a brush. Cook for a few more minutes per side, turning and basting until the chicken is cooked and the sauce is caramelized.
5. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
