I should have read the reviews before making. I used monk fruit/erythritol as sugar substitute. I think I’ll stick to 1/4-1/2c because 3/4c made it too sweet. The aburaage is a good idea. Also, the 1/2 mirin/sake is a good idea too. I’ll try that next time. Overall, a great recipe. I also excluded the watercress… don’t care for it. :)

Good recipe! I don’t like as sweet, so reduced sugar. Instead is full mirin, I did half mirin and sake for rest.

Delicious and if you do your prep the day before it's a breeze. Reminds me of home and Ohana. Mahalo.

I used chicken thigh meat and doubled the quantity. The sauce in my opinion is perfect when the sugar is cut back to 1/2 cup. Also used Cremini mushrooms and my family loved it!

Great recipe, easy and quick. Took previous reviewer's suggestion and added aburage also. Shared with my newlywed grandbaby, she said hubby loved it.
