Shoyu Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 -2 tablespoon vegetable oil
    3 -5 lbs chicken wings
    2 -3 inches fresh ginger (peeled, crushed)
    1 cup kikkoman low sodium soy sauce
    3 tablespoons sugar (to taste, may need more)
    2 -3 teaspoons sesame oil
Preparation
    Heat oil in large pot.
    Add chicken and cook about 2 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
    Add ginger. Continue cooking 3 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
    Add all other ingredients. In adding the sugar: add some, mix, taste; repeat if needed -- too much makes it too sweet. It should be a nice balance between the salt of the soy sauce and the sweet of the sugar. Someone once told me to put in equal amounts of sugar and soy sauce -- it was a little too sweet for me.
    Cover and simmer until done; stirring occasionally. (about 45-60 minutes).
    Remove ginger (optional).
    Serve with hot rice. (there will be lots of gravy).
