Instructions
1
Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and thread onto soaked bamboo skewers.
2
Make the tare sauce by simmering soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar in a saucepan until slightly thickened and glossy.
3
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
4
Grill skewers, turning frequently, until charred grill marks appear and chicken is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes (chicken breast cooks faster than thigh, so watch closely to avoid drying out).
5
Brush skewers generously with tare sauce during the last few minutes of grilling, building up layers of glaze.
6
Remove from grill and arrange skewers on a plate over leaf garnish.
7
Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
