Ingredients
- 10.6 oz boneless chicken thighs or breast
- 1 Tbsp sake
- ½ tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp grated garlic
Garnish (optional):
- lettuce
- cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Pierce each piece a few times with a fork to help the seasoning soak in better.

- Heat oil in a pan and sear the chicken pieces over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, until browned. Then, flip the chicken and cook for another minute or so, until the other side is also browned.
- Cover the pan and let the chicken steam over low heat for 3 minutes.
- Serve on a plate, garnished with vegetables such as lettuce or cherry tomatoes, if desired.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
