Step-by-Step
Rinse 1 cup of Japanese short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions for perfectly fluffy rice.
In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sake, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Add 1 pound of chicken breast and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips for easy serving.
Serve the sliced chicken over the cooked Japanese rice. Garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh touch and serve immediately.
