Method

Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side, until cooked through, being conscious not to move the chicken too much, allowing it to brown and develop great flavor.
While the chicken is cooking, in a small bowl, combine the sake, water, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic.
