Directions
1. Peel and grate the ginger. In a medium bowl, combine the ginger, soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and pepper. Trim any excess fat from the chicken. Cut chicken into 1-inch chunks and add to bowl with marinade. Toss to coat, then let stand 10 min., or refrigerate up to 2 hours.
2. Set grill to medium. Trim the green onions and cut into 1-inch lengths. Onto skewers, thread chicken and green onions, alternating. Place skewers on grill and brush with any remaining marinade. Grill 10 min., turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through.
