Instructions
Cut the chicken into regular pieces (approx. 2-3 cm) for even cooking. Cut the leeks or chives into 3 cm chunks.
Alternate on each skewer a piece of chicken and a piece of leek/cibola. Repeat until the skewers are full.
In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar. Add garlic and ginger if desired. Heat over medium heat and reduce for 10-15 minutes until slightly syrupy. Set aside.
Preheat a grill, frying pan or barbecue. Lightly brush skewers with tare sauce before grilling. Cook skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side, brushing with sauce each time you turn, until golden brown.
- Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve immediately, with the remaining tare sauce on the side.
