Directions

1
Prep the chicken: cut the boneless chicken into bite-sized pieces. Make the marinade: mix the soy sauce, vinegar, mirin, brown sugar, minced garlic, whole peppercorns, and bay leaves. Marinate: add the chicken to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (marinating overnight deepens the flavor).
2
Sear: heat oil in a pan and sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown.
3
Simmer: pour in the remaining marinade and simmer over medium heat for 20-30 minutes until done.

Tips

Turn up the heat slightly at the end to reduce the sauce for extra glossiness and flavor.
