Steps:
- For the chicken yakitori and rice: Soak skewers in water.
- Gather ingredients.
- Place 2 cups chicken stock or broth in a saucepot, bring to boil, then add white rice and a pinch of salt. Cover and reduce heat to low, then cook 15 to 18 minutes to just tender. Fluff and leave pot covered.
- Heat a large cast-iron pan or large nonstick pan over medium-high to high heat with oil, 3 turns of the pan. Meanwhile, to a small pot add soy sauce or tamari, mirin, sake, brown sugar, grated garlic and grated ginger. Bring to a low boil and thicken a couple of minutes, then remove from heat and pour off about a third to serve; add a basting brush to pot with remainder.
- Meanwhile, cut the chicken and scallions into bite-sized pieces. Drain skewers and thread on chicken and scallions, packed firmly.
- Cook skewers in pan 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with sauce once you turn browned chicken and onions the first time. Reduce heat a bit if pan gets too smoky.
- Serve skewers on or next to white rice with Green Beans alongside.
- Gather ingredients.
- Bring a couple of inches of water to a boil in deep skillet. Cut green beans into thirds.
- Place toasted sesame in bowl of mortar and pestle. Add soy or mirin or sake and sugar. Grind into paste (but some whole sesame seeds are fine), 2 minutes.
- Cook green beans in boiling water about 4 minutes to tender-crisp (add salt to water if you're not using soy). Drain in strainer and run under cool water 1 minute; drain off excess water by leaving in strainer a few minutes.

Steps:
- Place the chicken thighs in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the sake and the cornstarch; stir well with chopsticks or tongs to evenly coat the chicken. Cover and refrigerate while you cook your rice.
- Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Place the rice in a medium saucepan and add 1 1/2 cups of water (or follow the ratio and cooking instructions on your rice package). Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, halve the onion and cut into thin slices. Add the instant dashi to 1/2 cup of hot water and stir until it dissolves.
- Once your rice is cooked, remove from the heat and keep warm.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peanut oil and swirl to coat. Add the chicken in one layer and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes total. Remove the chicken from the skillet and reserve on a plate.
- 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.
- Place the rice in individual serving bowls. Divide the chicken yakitori over the rice, garnish with the dark green scallions and serve.

- Grill the chicken over medium heat: Grill the chicken over medium heat so that it cooks evenly and does not burn.
- Baste the chicken with the marinade: Baste the chicken with the marinade while it is grilling to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Serve with rice and vegetables: Chicken yakitori is traditionally served with rice and vegetables. You can also serve it with a dipping sauce.
