Ingredients
 
 

  • 8 skewers
  • 1 pound chicken breast fillets
  • 1 pound boneless/skinless chicken thighs
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves grated
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 3 scallions sliced
  • 9 ounces jasmine rice

Blistered Snow Peas

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 12 ounces snow peas
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp mirin

Instructions
 

  • Slice the chicken into thin strips. Place in a large bowl. Combine with soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, mirin, chili flakes, garlic and ginger. Stir to coat. Set aside for 5 minutes or cover and place overnight in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F or 200°C.
  • Cut the scallions crosswise into 1 ½-inch/4 cm pieces.
  • Skewer the chicken and finish each skewer with scallions, keep the remaining scallions for topping.
  • Once prepared, place skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can pour the remaining marinade over the skewers to create a delicious sauce. Roast for 15 minutes or until nicely browned and the chicken starts to char. Alternatively, change the oven setting to broil and bake the chicken for about 4 minutes more. Keeping an eye on it, as the broiler can burn food fast.
  • In the meantime, cook the rice according package directions.
  • Prepare the blistered snow peas. Heat oil in a skillet over high. Add snow peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until blistered and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in salt, mirin and chili flakes.
  • Divide rice among bowls, along with chicken skewers and blistered snow peas. Enjoy!
