- 2 tablespoon oil neutral tasting oil like canola or sunflower

- When ready to cook, add oil into a hot heavy-based pan on high heat.
- Sear chicken thighs on both sides until brown (around 2 minutes on each side).

Notes
Note 1. Mirin substitute swap 3 tablespoon of mirin with 1 tablespoon of shaoxing wine and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. I've found this to be a pretty close substitute and honestly, it'll be hard to tell the difference.
Note 2. Marinate chicken if you are just too hungry and don't want to wait, at least marinate for 15 minutes. A little time is better than no time with this!
