Ingredients

½ cup soy sauce
½ cup sake (Japanese rice wine)
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 24 cubes
4 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
8 (6-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for 2 hours

Steps:

Whisk soy sauce, sake, sugar, and ginger together in a bowl. Add chicken cubes; toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
Thread chicken cubes and green onions onto skewers.
Pour marinade into a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
