Easy Shoyu Chicken

In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, sugar, ginger, garlic, green onion tops. The chicken can be prepared in four different ways. The chicken can be boiled or simmered in the sauce til done. It can be baked in the sauce til done. The sauce and chicken can be put in a slow cooker for 4 to 6 hours (or til done). Or, the chicken can marinate overnight in the sauce (in the refrigerator) and then grilled, basting with the sauce. I have always either made it in a slow cooker or grilled it. The sauce is also great with beef. Note: smooth Hawaiian soy (like Aloha Shoyu) is best, if it can be found. Off-the-shelf Stateside brands (like Kikoman) give it a harsher flavor.
