Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g chicken thigh, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 4 spring onions, cut into short lengths
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp sake
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • skewers, soaked in water if wooden

Method
 

  1. Thread the chicken and spring onion pieces onto skewers, alternating as you go.
  2. Simmer the soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar in a small pan for 5 minutes until slightly syrupy. This is the tare.
  3. Grill or griddle the skewers over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes a side, until charred in places and cooked through.
  4. Brush with the tare sauce in the last minute of cooking, then serve with any extra sauce on the side.
