Method
-
In a bowl mix the soy sauce, mirin, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic and grated ginger until sugar dissolves.
-
Add the chicken and marinate for 15 mins or preferably overnight in the fridge.
-
Remove chicken from marinade and place on around 8 pre-soaked wooden skewers, retaining left over marinade.
-
Fry the chicken with the sesame oil to seal and place in the oven for 15 mins at 170°C.

Meanwhile, in a large pan put the sliced ginger with the rice and water. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until the water absorbs (10-12 minutes).

Reduce left over marinade by half and keep on a low heat.

When tender, remove chicken from oven and add to the warm reduced marinade, coating each chicken piece thoroughly.
-
Gently stir the spring onion and cucumber through the cooked rice, serve with 2 chicken skewers per person, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
