1
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well until sugar dissolves.
AI Wisdom: Pro tip: Adjust sugar based on your preference for sweetness. -
2
Place chicken strips in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
AI Wisdom: Marinating longer enhances flavor. -
3
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
AI Wisdom: Visual cue: Chicken should be caramelized and no longer pink. -
4
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the chicken. Bring to a simmer. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
AI Wisdom: Sauce will thicken quickly. -

Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot over rice.
