• 100 ml Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sugar

3. Heat some sesame oil in a frying pan, and fry the chicken until browned on both sides, especially the skin.

5. Wipe excess oil in the frying pan.
6. Add the sake, mirin, soy sauce, sugar and kombu, and put the chicken back into the pan.
7. Put on a lid and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally.
8. If the sauce is boiling too fast, lower the heat.
9. Finsihed!
10. Slice the chicken, pour over the sauce and enjoy.
11. It's great over rice too.
12. This is a tri-colored rice bowl that I prepared for my child.
