Instructions
Prep
Slice 400g chicken thigh into 1cm strips. Thinly slice 200g yellow onion. Julienne 200g cucumber. Thinly slice 2 scallions. Whisk together 40ml soy sauce, 120g grated asian pear, 20g brown sugar, 20ml mirin, 30ml sesame oil, 6 grated garlic cloves, 20g grated ginger, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Toss marinade with chicken; rest 5 minutes.
Saute
Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a wide skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add onion, stir-fry 60–90 seconds until just translucent. Push to edges; add marinated chicken to centre in a single layer. Stir-fry 4–5 minutes over high until deeply caramelised and just cooked through.
Glaze
Toss chicken and onion together with any remaining marinade; fry 60 seconds until sauce reduces and clings. Push chicken aside, add 400g warm cooked rice to pan, toss 60–90 seconds in residual sauce until heated through and lightly glazed.
Plate
Divide rice between two wide bowls, mounding in the centre. Pile chicken and onion alongside each. Arrange julienned cucumber on the opposite side of each bowl. Scatter scallion and sesame seeds over the top. Serve immediately.
