Instructions

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, mirin, garlic, and ginger to make the marinade.
Add chicken pieces to the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tbsp of oil and cook onions, zucchini, and mushrooms with a pinch of salt and pepper until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add butter and stir everything together until well combined.
Return chicken to the skillet, mix with the vegetables, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Marinating the chicken longer enhances the flavor.
Can be served with hibachi-style fried rice or noodles.
Adjust soy sauce quantity to control saltiness.
