• Next, add the onions to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring, until slightly soft, about 1 minute.
• Add the mirin, soy sauce, sugar, dashi mixture and remaining 1/4 cup sake to the skillet. Stir and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
• Increase the heat to medium-high. Bring to a simmer and add the chicken along with any juices from the plate to the skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces to a glaze, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallions, keeping the light and dark green parts separate. Add the light green scallions to the skillet and stir.
