- 1/4 cup finely sliced green onions
- 2 Tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 Tablespoon peeled and minced ginger
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup mirin
- 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
- 1/4 to 1/2 Tablespoon dried chili flakes( more if you like it hot)
- Garnish: 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare green onions, garlic and ginger per ingredient list. Put all into a large container with lid for marinade. Put all other marinade ingredients into the container. Add the boneless chicken thighs, mix well and cover; put in fridge overnight. Turn occasionally for even marination.
