Notes
Chicken thighs add extra juiciness, but breasts work well too.For a lighter option, use low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos.For spice, add sriracha or chili flakes to the sauce.Pairs best with fried rice, zucchini, onions, or yum yum sauce.Cook on a flat-top griddle for an authentic hibachi-style experience.
