Servings: persons

1 pound chicken thighs, boneless, skinless bone-in, skin on, trimmed of excess fat
1 x black pepper fresh ground
1 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 tablespoons soy sauce, tamari sodium-reduced
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon mirin (sweet seasoning) mirin
1 teaspoon ginger fresh grated with a microplane grater
1 clove garlic minced
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
1 each scallions, spring or green onions thinly sliced on diagonal for garnish

1
Rinse and dry chicken thoroughly with paper towels and season with pepper.
2
Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Cook chicken, skin side down, without moving, until skin is deep brown and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes or more.
4
Adjust heat as needed, too dark lower the heat, too pale increase the heat.
5
Flip the chicken over, reduce heat to medium, and cook until second side is brown and meat is thoroughly cooked, about 10 minutes.
6
Meanwhile in a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sugar, mirin, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch.
7
Transfer chicken to plate and pour off fat (I pour into a foil line bowl for easy disposal later).
8
Add the soy based mixture to skillet and return to medium heat.
9
Return chicken to skillet, turn to coat with sauce, and simmer, skin side up, until sauce is thick and glossy, about 2 minutes.
10
Transfer chicken to serving platter and sprinkle with scallions.
11
Pour remaining sauce into small bowl and serve with the chicken along with cooked rice to complete the meal.
