Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb chicken thighs
  • 8 oz enoki mushrooms
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup mirin
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, and 2 tbsp sugar until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Trim the root end off the 8 oz enoki mushrooms and separate into small bundles. Pat the 1.5 lb chicken thighs dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Flip the chicken and add the enoki mushrooms around the pieces. Pour the sauce over everything and bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Cook, spooning sauce over the chicken and mushrooms, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a glaze, about 5-7 minutes more.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds and serve hot.
