Mix well and then cook the rice.

Chop 200 g of chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces and season with a dash of salt and pepper on both sides.

Make garlic paste from 1 clove of garlic.

In a bowl, mix 1.5 tbsp of miso, 1/2 tbsp of sugar, 1/2 tbsp of sake, and the garlic paste.

Heat 1 tsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pan and cook until the skin is brown.

Reduce heat to low, cover with aluminum foil, and steam fry for 3 minutes.

Add the pre-made sauce to the pan with the chicken fat still in it and mix well.

Add chopped herbs to the pan and mix well again.

Serve the cooked chicken over a bowl of rice and drizzle the sauce over the rice.
