Step 1.
Simmer the tare briefly until slightly reduced. Cut the chicken into approximately 2–3 cm pieces. Cut the white/light-green portions of spring onion into similar lengths. Thread: chicken → onion → chicken → onion → chicken Make two or four small skewers. Grill while turning frequently. Leave half seasoned simply with salt. Brush the other half lightly with tare during the last couple of minutes , turning and brushing repeatedly to create a thin lacquer rather than a burnt sugary coating. Serve one shio and one tare portion each.
