Scrape the skin off the ginger with a spoon, then grate. Mix with the soy sauce, mirin, sake, honey and cornstarch, then set aside.
Cut the cutlets into coarse pieces, place in a bowl, pour the marinade over them and chill for 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the rice for the time indicated on the packaging.
In a frying pan over medium heat, place the finely minced garlic and the chicken without the marinade. Leave to cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the marinade and let it thicken while stirring.
When the sauce has a syrupy texture, transfer the contents of the pan to plates with the rice. Add the sesame seeds and a few fresh cilantro leaves, and enjoy!
