Title: Easy Japanese
Ingredients:
– 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tbsp mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
– 2 tbsp sake
– 1 tbsp sugar
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1-inch piece ginger, grated
– 2 tbsp vegetable oil
– 2 cups cooked white rice

Instructions:
1. Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
