Ingredients

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 scallions, white and light green parts only, cut into 1-inch lengths
  • 6 shiitake mushroom caps, quartered
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoons kecap manis (sweet Indonesian soy sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha chile sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Vegetable oil, for brushing

Steps

  1. Thread each of 8 metal skewers with 3 pieces of chicken and 3 pieces each of scallion and shiitake.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, kecap manis, sugar, ginger, Sriracha and garlic; bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat, stirring, until slightly thickened, 8 minutes.
  3. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Brush the skewers with oil and grill over high heat, turning, until nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Brush the skewers with the sauce and grill, turning, until the chicken is cooked through and nicely glazed, about 3 minutes longer. Serve at once.
