Instructions
1
Prep
Slice 400g chicken thigh into 1cm strips. Thinly slice 200g yellow onion. Julienne 200g cucumber. Thinly slice 2 spring onions. Whisk together 40ml soy sauce, 120g grated asian pear, 20g brown sugar, 20ml mirin, 30ml sesame oil, 6 grated garlic cloves, 20g grated ginger, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Toss marinade with chicken; rest 5 minutes.

Saute
Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add onion, stir-fry 90 seconds until translucent. Push to edges; add marinated chicken to centre in a single layer. Stir-fry 4–5 minutes over high until deeply caramelised and cooked through.

Glaze
Toss chicken and onion together with any remaining marinade; fry 60 seconds until sauce reduces and clings. Push chicken aside, add 400g warm cooked rice to pan, toss 60–90 seconds in residual sauce until heated through and lightly glazed.
