Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl until combined.

  2. Step 2

    Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 inches. Pat dry with a paper towel.

  3. Step 3

    Toss chicken with half the sauce. Arrange on a foil-lined broiler pan in a single layer.

  4. Step 4

    Broil 4 inches from heat for 6 minutes, until edges char and chicken cooks through.

  5. Step 5

    Toss cabbage with remaining sauce and divide between two plates.

  6. Step 6

    Top cabbage slaw with charred chicken and any pan juices. Serve immediately.
