1/2 whole chicken (chop to small pieces )
2 carrot (peel and cut 1-2 inch)
2 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder
1 tbsp sake
1 tsp sugar *optional*
1 tbsp cooking oil
2 clove garlic (peel and sliced)
2 stalks scallion ( cut 2 inch)
1 tbsp sesame oil *optional*
Method:
1:Clean and remove giblets,neck and feathers.Cut the whole chicken to small pieces with cleaver.You can use ready cut thighs or drumsticks instead of whole chicken.
2:Prepare wok at high heat with oil,add in garlic,fry until light golden brown,then add in cut chicken and carrot,reduce heat to medium.Let's simmer for 5 minutes with lid to cover the wok for faster cooking.Remove lid,add in soy sauce,mirin,sugar ,chicken bouillon powder and sake,mix well and cook for another 5 minutes or longer or until the meat is tender.
3:Check the seasoning ,sprinkle with cut scallion and sesame oil before remove from heat.Dish out and serve warm with rice.
This dish is easy and simple to cook.It's a Japanese comfort food which you can cook yourself instead of ordering at Japanese restaurant.If you don't have sake replace with chinese cooking wine.

I've never heard of Mirin, I wonder if I can find it in a regular grocery store? This looks delicious!
