In Tokyo, these savory skewers are made with Japanese leeks, called negi, which are thinner and more tender than Western leeks. We've substituted scallions, since they have a similar sweetness and are more readily available here.
Cooks' notes:
•Sauce can be made 2 days ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled, covered.
•Skewers can be assembled, but not brushed with sauce, 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Brush with sauce before broiling as directed.
