Stir until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Turn up the heat to high and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with 2 Tbsp of cold water until dissolved. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and boil for 1-2 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
2. 🌻For the chicken: - Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers that have been soaked in cold water. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, then brush the vegetable oil over the skewers. - Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium heat. - Cook the chicken for 4 minutes per side. Brush the sauce over the chicken and cook for an additional 2 minutes per side.
3. Brush more sauce over the chicken, then cook for another minute per side. - Brush a final layer of sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, then serve.

Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat - you want to cook the chicken fairly gently so it soaks up the sauce. Put the skewers in the pan, then brush with the sauce. Cut chicken into one-inch pieces and place in a shallow dish. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce or tamari, mirin, sake or sherry, brown sugar, garlic and ginger.
